Recently I wrote about my love of figs, but it might pale in comparison for my love of fresh basil and pesto. Last summer my basil plants were pathetic. This year, I have two nice plants that rewarded me with much to boast about. I planted less this year thinking they would not amount to [...]

This photo was taken over three years ago, but represents so much about me that I do not share in this space. Why? I am not altogether sure, but my guess is that I fear criticism for my choice as well as my passion. However, I am reminded of this consciousness and caring for animals, [...]
