I REALLY LIKE mysteries and cookbooks and what a treat to combine memories of a place where I have painted with friends and sampled the foods so different, yet often so simple.

This book and this memory takes me back to Venice.

It’s always a treat when Jasper Blankenship comes down from the diggin’s with his dog, Arthur, to see us here in town and stop by for stories and coffee at the Mule Barn.

“Jasper, is it true you built your cabin with only an ax?”

Jasper nodded.

“Aren’t axes kinda … hard to get used to?” Herb asked.

I LOVE THUMBING thought the seed catalogs, and look forward to their arrival every year. On the other hand, I do wonder about the environmental impact of having so many seed companies sending thousands upon thousands of catalogs through the mail. So I have resolved not to request any more catalogs and I have started searching for seeds online.
