Comments on: On the death of summer http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/09/23/on-the-death-of-summer/ This is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan.

What’s the phrase from the prayer book? “In the midst of life we are in death”?

May we all live so fruitfully.

Just notice the ‘Fear of Food’ post while this was trying to load. In light of the recent food scares around the country, perhaps you could recycle that title and write a literal post! Isn’t it nice being fairly food secure at a time like this???

It’s a bit of a puzzle. What would YOU do if you didn’t feel well, went to the doctor, and the doctor told you that you had two weeks to get your affairs in order? And it was two weeks, actually, 12 days, and he died.

Because it was so surprising, I think we are all in a bit of a fog right now. It’s definitely put a different spin on the way I saw the trip, and the way I am thinking now.

That pizza oven, though!! This is the second one I have helped build, and I have plans to build two more: one for our kid’s school, and one, of course, for US. Stay tuned.

Sorry to hear of the loss, but glad you were given the opportunity of closure.
I hope Wisco was as lovely as it always is. I miss the old hood.

I’m glad you were able say goodbye and sorry for your loss.

Closure is often a wonderful thing. On the subject of oven – OMG!!! I want one! I’ve been playing with the concept for about a year but haven’t quite gotten my arms and mind entirely around it. And yes, wine should most assuredly be consumed from canning jars (a habit my mother finds grossly offensive which is probably why I do it).

Thoughts are with you on the loss of your friend…

The oven must have been allot of fun and good food.
I send you my best wishes,
