I am back from Ohio and what a holiday it was! Who knew Southern Ohio was a mecca for beauty, artists, ethical growers, hiking, biking, markets and other delightfulness.

Up here in Canada, we wait all winter for summer and then summer just zips on by and we wonder where it went.  We are too busy running hither and tither to take the time to smell the roses (or little purple weedy flowers) and pick the goodness from the earth while abundant and ripe. [...]
