I’m remembering to use my blog more for the things that have traditionally landed on the Facebook page. Not everyone in this blog’s fold is a Facebooker, and I’d hate for y’all to miss out on the fun.

So, what is on your counter right now?

Here’s mine. A fellow gardener in our cooperative garden makes the most beautiful flowers appear, including these ornamental pea flowers. They are utterly delightful in both looks and smell.

Also, cat. We lift him, we scold him, we spray him [repeat 400x] with our DIY all-purpose cleaner spraybottle (half vinegar/half water and a few drops of peppermint essential oil), because supposedly cats don’t love licking vinegar off themselves. Does he listen? Does he care?

You be the judge.
