This blog will host my ramblings about life. To be a bit more specific, I'll probably focus on these subjects: music, sports, food, the everyday beauty of life, and the comedy/tragedy/absurdity of our existence. That about covers it.

Pride or Is It Garden Porn?
A number of years back when Food Network was turning into a more prominent ogre of marketing and banality--Where have you gone Mario Batali?--there were few articles that compared the structure/plot lines, cinematography, and dialogue of cooking shows to porn flicks.
The authors who make these comparisons offer some entertaining points about cooking shows, but I also think gardening blogs (there are tons of them out there on the InterWeb) lurch toward close-ups of produce and flowers.
In contrast, I offer a wide shot of my nascent garden. After we got back home from Florida on Friday, I planted more rows of produce, and I think I'll try growing potatoes this year too.
Chalk it up to pride, I hope.

Good luck with the garden.
Hey, I like to leave some matters to my readers' imaginations.
Harumph. Harumph I say.
Let's share some of your focus on the lawn this year...... Ha Ha
