What a great blog! I'll definitely bookmark it once I'm on my home computer so I can keep up with your adventures. Sigh...

Seeing your garden pics makes me want to find the ones I have from mine (pre-bicycle). I miss digging in the dirt. Maybe this fall I will get back to it.

On my Sunday rides on the country roads around Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy, I pass farms with goats all the time. There are also alpaca ranches. Those critters intrigue me, too. The Home Ec major I was a lifetime ago would love to go from critter to sweater sometime.

Working with power tools is very cool. Another dream of mine is to apprentice with someone who is a fine furniture builder.
