Hi Raquel
It's Ann, Brian's wife. I once knew you through Andi when I was still Ann Hinckley.

And we hope for a good grape harvest this year. Our neighbor keeps bees in the little vineyard so usually the grapes go crazy. We have seedless red grapes that are ripe in August, white concord, concord, and another kind that makes a very cool purple jelly (I think they are actually an

Just wandered over here from Andi's blog. Your soil is very exciting. This is my only my first year of gardening, but I think it's been in my blood. I've been reading everything of Wendell Berry's I can get my hands on. I think I want to be a gentleman farmer.
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm mystified by what you seem able to do with your compost.

Me?

And, if so, here I was thinking that mushwombs is a very clever post title and that I'd never heard the word before.

And I want to see the painting.

And your garden is inspirational.

And I could go for some of those old-timey conversations. Do you remember the dream I had after we talked about vegetarianism where I got to meet all the beautiful cows in the

"trippiest mushwombs" reminds me of late night conversations with my room mate Mary. That was back in the day when i was obsessed with the dead sea scrolls and john allegro's theories about religion being anciently born from psychedelics. Oh! and my friend had a friend who was tripping out on something when he surprised everyone by deciding to become religious.
Mary said "mushwomb" and i did

I love that you used the word "trippiest" when you talk about wild mushrooms.
