Ah, M, good to see you back. I’m so glad you took a well deserved break though, your Inktober marathon was inspiring but dang!
All of your produce pictures ares so glorious, and I always love it when you share garden stuff with us because I adore it all.
And you are so right about it being a labor of love. I’m truly sorry about the cabbage carnage, I would love to plop a fresh pile of cow fecal matter in a mischievous place for that neighbor to step in.
Your lessons learned hit close to home for me, one unseasonably warm year I had an extra patch of tomatoes (48 plants) that I had nurtured into greatness, they were just hitting peak ripeness when our steer broke out of his pen and ate every single vine, fruit and all. We had the last laugh cause we ate him:)
I loved everything about this post, especially the last paragraph. I’ll be right there with ya, gardening as a grey hair too!
Yea, the break was needed and also some other things came up that I can't wait to share soon!
Back in the day, when my granny had cows we used to call those the cow pancakes! xD Those would have worked for the deed perfectly!
Oh no! Poor tomato plants! And no delicious produce for salads and canning! I am sorry but I can't help but laugh out loudly when I just read the last bit about having the last laugh! xD What a silly creature! Hope he was delicious too ahaha!
Thank you for sharing your awesome stories, they always cheer me up! Hugs
Ooh!! I love the element of anticipatory surprise! Can't wait for the sharing of things!
Ahh, the cow pancakes, so many memories, soo much mischief, heh....
Flynn (the steer) was absolutely delicious, and I'm sure fairly tender from gorging on all that acid fruit, big brat. I loved him though lol, and I'm glad you got a guffaw out of that story, I still giggle a bit about it too on occasion, usually when I get a pack of steaks out of the freezer😁
Thank you for making my day with your awesomeness! Hugs right back at ya!
