Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

There, I got a load of laundry going, and the rice dish is sitting there resting after the simmering and so on. I put the drain hose for the washing machine water out on one of the growing beds with figs in it. I have a fifty gallon surge berrel for the washer to empty it's water in, and that has a bushing at the bottum for the 3/4 hose end to go on. I guess you might call that a hose bib, but there's no valve, just 1/2 opening into the 1/2 hose... Valves don't get along with gray water so well. I prefer to use at least 3/4 hoses and tubing with gray water, but you have to use what you have. I should copy this post over into my "Best Hose for Gardening" thread.

I have hung the load of laundry to dry on the fold out laundry rack thing that I have set up in the bedroom. The pork goes well with the zest of the citrus peal. It isn't bad with the rest of the peal, and I'm used to eating that at this point, but it doesn't add too much to the flavor of the dish. I think a pork chop rubbed with orange zest would be pretty good.

I see they have a thread going on the correct placement of the flashes. I'm glad they have that sense I didn't really know I was putting them in the wrong place until I got those pictures posted and people told me. I'll keep an eye on that thread...

Those STM garter ties have fringed ends from what I read. That sounds... neat. In my mind I am seeing that as frenged like the ends of a scarfe, and I kind of like that idea: like little scarves...

I still haven't finnished rearanging my little cottage.
