Garden Bounty Increasing Everyday

Today there was lettuce and radishes and an herb flavoured olive oil made with three kinds of fresh basil and Italian flat leaf parsley. The radish are the last of some seed that I brought home from France several years ago, not very many germinated so I guess they must be at the end of their life span.

Rhubarb Roadside Stand

Maybe I'm reverting to my childhood days and the lemonade stand with lemonade 5 cents a glass. Yesterday I had a thought after I read something on flickr about several people who just have selfserve stands for there surplus flowers, vegetables and baked goods so I thought I would give it a try for the fun of it. Well I didn't have a bad first day, I sold $16.00 worth of Rhubarb. So I guess if I have surplus herbs or vegge this summer I know what I'll do.

My New Waterproof Tilley

I don't know who that old guy is but he's wearing my new Tilley and it's waterproof. Hopefully that will keep my head dry on the Camino next winter. It might also come in handy in Newfoundland this summer, I hope it will be keeping the sun off me at Gros Morne National Park. The Shell Badge was a gift from a fellow Camino Pilgrim, Marliyn Rushton from Halifax. We both walked the Camino for the first time last year and we are both making plans to walk different routes next year. Mine will hopefully start in Le Puy around the first of March.
