Just finished eating a fresh salad—romaine, buttercrunch, red sails, iceburg, baby spinach. All grown by yours truly!

Well, I am truly impressed (and hungry now, too!). I don't grow edibles, except navel oranges, lemons and ruby red grapefruit. I do love to grow flowers though. They are food for the spirit.

It's only 9:00 AM here, so I think I will have a waffle and plan a salad, with store bought greens, for lunch. It really does sound good.

My boss, great man that he is, put in a small kitchen. We keep adding things—electric skillet, deep fryer, etc. You’d be amazed what we can whip up in there with limited appliances and space! I don’t hear him complaining any!

Here’s a favorite poem of mine—NOT mine—and I don’t know where I got it, but I love it, and most important—I can remember it!

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

Citrus fruit! I’m jealous! Just a little too cold here to do citrus and a little too warm to grow any other good fruit without spraying constantly.
