Triple Threat

3/14/08 - 6th Day - Preparation of the Sabbath. Suppertime. I mentioned recently that one of the biggest hazards or problems with gardening here in Central Texas, is the massive temperature swings from day to night, and from one day to the next. Today is one of those days. Woke up this morning to a bit chilly 40ish degrees, and we hit a high a little while ago of 89 degrees. A fifty degree swing is hard on both the body, and the garden. Now, one of the most irksome realities of living here is The Blowtorch. The blowtorch is when it is in the 90's or 100's and the wind blows at 30-40 miles an hour. That is what we had today. So we had the triple threat, but it seems like the garden has held up really well. It's one of the prices we pay to live in the land of perpetual good weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be a dream March day. Mid 70's and nice and clear. Nice.


While fat gnostic truck-drivers and such assail me for "hiding behind a keyboard", we here in the community go on with our Christian Agrarian lives. Here we are putting the siding on a cabin we are building for a lady in the fellowship. So while I am castigated by insignificant seminary gluttons and internet wannabes, I just laugh and hang out with my brethren. How about you?

Looking forward to the Sabbath (both the eternal one, and the one that starts tonight),
