LAST OF THE CROP

This bowl contains the last of the 2011 crop of garlic. This year's bulbs are almost ready. If only we were as self sufficient with all our other produce!
A day to stay at home, keep warm and entertain some of the lankier members of our family, who came for lovage soup, and rhubarb muffins. Only their dogs were brave enough to follow me round the garden in the rain, picking herbs for the soup.

THREE GOOD THINGS
Rain - where would we be without it?
The smell of the garden under rain
Reflections in puddles
