Hot sauce

What do you do with pounds of hot peppers from the garden?

That's right- make your own hot sauce. Batch # 1 is shown. I'm
estimating 2-3 more batches. That works out to gallons. Yikes. Maybe
less pepper plants next year.

First Day

Cailin & Marlee home from a summer in OR

And the first stop is the computer.

Got tomatoes?

The unloved shack

Life is rough.

Back In Ferryland

I missed Seattle.

Went to the archery range today

And had a tag-along.....

The garden's first tomato

Pink caspian.

Becoming a Bowyer

So both of my grandpa's 50+ year old bows simply couldn't hack it and
now lay in pieces. Erin said she'd buy me a new bow when the tile is
done. And I'm close. But I couldn't help but try to make one myself
out of a nice piece of quarter-sawn ash. I messed up the tillering and
ended up with a very light weight bow. But it's still pretty cool. A
single piece of wood--no glue at all. Here's Emma showing good form
and a solid anchor. Even if the bow is twice her height.

Can't Rush This

There's a MC Hammer song in here somewhere....

Hangin with the statuary

At the Boston aquarium

Emma on the Swan Boat

Now I'm at a place with 42 beers in tap

And not one is a major label.

Emma at the Liberty Bell

Garden (& Kid) Grow

Could use some rain though. Serious drought for around here.

Helps if you figure out what you're doing first.
