Weekend Postcard: Lilac Flower

Spring has meant an explosion of color around the neighborhood. The flowers and new shoots on the plants feed the soul (okay, I’m not a complete non-romantic).

Since it is spring, we have planted the tomatoes in hopes of getting those delicious fruits for our sandwiches and salads. We have also planted some hop rhizomes in hopes of brewing some beers and flavoring them with hops that we grew. Thanks to trade we do not have to rely on our limited abilities to grow our own food.

My name is Norm Benson and my Lowdermilk manuscript is out for beta review. This is the story of Walter and Inez Lowdermilk, an American couple who came to see soil erosion as a threat to civilization. Their pursuit of land conservation carried them from China and the Dust Bowl to Palestine, where their ideas about reclaiming the land helped build the case for the creation of Israel.

  1. I have cherry blossom in my garden and some apple blossom peeping over the fence. And a view of some allotments where folk with greener fingers than mine are working hard. Good luck with your produce.

    1. I have planted some hop vines and two of the 20 or so that I put in the earth have sprouted. I’m looking forward to brewing my own beer with hops from the garden.
