Our Garden

Soup Anyone?

Ryan Kraeger

Seppi and Daddy went to the farm early on Friday to drop off apples and dig carrots and parsnips for Saturday’s soup.

Some of these parsnips are gigantic!

Unlike the carrots.

We don’t have a speeding fork at the farm yet, so we tried to use the dung fork to break the ground.

Alas, poor fork.

I knew him well, Horatio!

The soup was excellent. As usual, we forgot to get any pictures of cooking it or eating it. But I did get this picture of trying to enjoy it the next day at National Guard drill.

I ask you, what on earth is the point of a microwave that is so small it cannot accept a standard quart jar?

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
