Garden

So here is another picture from the cockpit of this boat from last weekend. I spent a few hours napping here on Saturday and Sunday.

But this weekend was a bit more socially intense, with a wonderful bike tour yesterday of chickens and kiwis and bees and figs. It was perfect weather (it's been in the high sixties here the past few days) and the party that followed too was enjoyable with people coming and going all night.

It's exciting to see so many people growing vegetables. And of all the places I've ever lived or visited, I never saw so many front yards turned to gardens. Some for show, and others to eat. And some a combination of both. And there are many urban gardening groups in Bellingham, including Perennial Harvest, Fourth Corner Slow Foods, Sustainable Bellingham, Food Not Lawns, Terra Commons, and a bunch others I forgot to include, or am not even aware of. Someday these gardens may play an increasingly important role in food production.
