Garlic Harvest

I can't believe it is that time of the year again - garlic harvest time. That means summer is 2/3 over already. On the positive side, it means that we are probably done with 100+ degree days - we have had way too many of them this year already anyway. In any case, I took this picture of the last of this year's garlic harvest picked from my garden in Bennett, CO. It aint much, but it sure smells good and beats going all the way to Gilroy, CA!

Four kittens

Last Thursday morning, Murka, our barn cat brought us a litter of four kittens.

Yesterday, I attended an awesome all day class, "Watchdog Journalism," at the Rocky Mountain PBS (Channel 6) in Denver, Colorado. It was sponsored by Rocky Mountain Investigative News Network and conducted by Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc. (IRE), a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of investigative reporting. The cost was $50 and included a one year IRE membership, but a New America Media (NAM) deal with IRE waved my class fee entirely. The lineup of speakers was quite impressive; interesting attendees, too.
