It's a beautiful afternoon in western NC. 6 mile hike in DuPont forest this AM.

7. So true!

Thanks for the reminder NRL. My life has been way out of balance in this regard, lately. I'm in addicted state right now, I'm afraid. I'm generally pretty balanced. Need to get it back.

Quick q about tomatoes? My husband is a fabulous grower and has been for years. A couple times however - including this year - he seems to have killed them off with too hot a manure.... chickens and horses. Even though it's composted! Does this square with your knowledge? Can you suggest a different plant that might appreciate all that nitrogen?

Thanks and your days sounds absolute lovely and like a template.
