It was nice to see Pearl helping in the garden, checking to see if there are any spots that need watering, or perhaps finding a place to dig a hole for some new seeds!

Okay all you homebody gardeners types - I just have to say it. I"m so glad my days of love affairs with dirt and my own homegrown veggies have given away to sailing. What I used to invest in labor and supplies I can save 3/4 and get all the organic veggies I want at the local farmer's market or Fresh Fields and not be tied to my own back yard.

Sailing is too much work! I paid Celebrity Cruises to sail me to Bermuda, and they did it in style with massive gourmet meals and events and games and a casino and jacuzzis and stuff.

If you are good at it, it isn't too much work. The boat does most of it.

But that's how I feel about the garden! Nature does most of it, all we did was to build something to frame it, and that was easy.

I know, I got it. It's just that I used to do that too until I realized exactly how much I was paying for those tomatos (had to get someone in to till it first thing in the spring and onward from there but I had a 50'x50' garden and tried to grow way too much stuff). Now I don't even have a yard.

You know, they say that the two happiest days are the day you buy your boat and the day you sell it.

It is also said that a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into. I'm told that there's an aptitude test: Go dress up in your best clothes, go to the bathroom and get in the shower. Step in and turn it on full blast, full cold. Now reach into your pocket and pull out hundred dollar bills one at a time and tear them into pieces and let them fall to the floor and down the drain. Repeat.

One of those little pontoon deals doesn't look like that much work...

Yeah my sailing days are over. I sailed from Seattle to Ketchican in November, so I can attest to BigV's comments. Only I'd add it's more like burning the hundreds to keep a cigar lit. Same diff. Also, having been in two hurricanes at sea, I'll take my chances on land, in a storm, any day. Besides while gardening I can focus all my sublimated anger and frustrations at the cucumber beetles. Excuse me, I meant to say the filthy bastard cucumber beetles.

UT and I enjoyed the first bounty from our garden. Fresh carrots and a zucchini boiled and served with a little butter and salt. There is truly something wonderful about eating fresh fare that comes from your own garden.
The carrots and zucchini were served as a delightful side dish, accompanying a beautiful cut of steak (broiled to medium-rare perfection) and delicious mashed red skin garlic potatoes. We also enjoyed a wonderful old Cabernet Sauvignon that UT had been hiding away. All served in romantic candlelit splendor. A truly memorable meal. My man sure knows how to treat me right! I expressed my sincere appreciation for his thoughtfulness later that evening... :p |
