I’ve had a busy couple of weeks: between staying ahead of my garden and keeping up with writing projects and clients I haven’t had a lot of free time.<\/p>\n

\"home<\/a>
The Patio–not just decor, this garden supplies herbs to my kitchen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fortunately I’ve got a break: I’m flying off on an exciting big city adventure! Toronto here I come. Well, GTA, here I come . . . I like Toronto, but in 20 years of travelling there several times a year, I think I’ve only actually spent a total of four days in the city, so it still seems like a strange place to me, but business is business and travelling for pleasure never seems to take me to the exotic places in my own country.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, all this will be waiting for me when I return!<\/p>\n

\"community<\/a>
Raspberries, currants, apples, potatoes, basil, tomatoes, artichokes, beets, turnips, zucchini, squash, beans, broccoli, carrots, lettuces, cabbages, horseradish, celeriac . . . et cetera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve got some cool new stuff in the pipeline: I’m shooting video, but while I’m great in front of the camera, I’m\u00a0not as competent behind it. I hope I’ll have something better than a blooper reel next week.<\/p>\n

I’m also bent on getting some all-grain brewing done. One of my current projects is to get my full brewing setup back on-line, and it’s happening. I’m drilling holes in pots, connecting mash screens and generally planning stuff up–wait until you see my new grain grinder (one of the video topics to come).<\/p>\n

Beyond that, as always I’ve got a million words to write and many other promises to keep. Hurray for self-employment, my boss never lets up on me!<\/p>\n

Whoops! Time to pack, and I’ve got to water the gardens before I leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
