I love onions.

Michael planted 700 onion sets. We harvested less than 500 mature onions. Our garden has suffered from lack of attention and less rain. It's not as if we have been slacking. Rather, a certain amount of time and attention has been diverted by little Miss Devine.

Unlike our onions, this wee one is growing at an amazing rate, and is really happy about it all.

We have also been spending a fair amount of time and energy putting up wallboard and getting it taped.

Michael installs. I tape. Those cake decorating skills come in handy!

I have been working on several appeals. We both work on keeping us fed, the chicken and ducks fed, all of us in clean clothes and bedding, transporting compost from town to our garden...and other general maintenance. It is a glorious existence! Onions add depth of flavor.
