I have never aspired to be a plumber, but I know how valuable those skills are. Indoor conveniences like running water have always been high on my priority list and greatly appreciated. Having the sewer back up into my laundry room and leave a trail of sewage run off through my storage area is not an experience I wanted to repeat after the first time. Before the plumbers could rod…
If you have ever grown squash you know that they have huge leaves and they defend their fruit and hide it well. It took a while but I finally found the first of the treasure hidden in the leaves. A few weeks and we’ll be cooking this along with fresh corn on a fire in the yard. Unless of course you have a better recipe. Please let me know your…
