a good garden plot will serve you better than gold.

when we bought our new house we wondered why the sink in the kitchen has a second cold water tap that doesn't work. we traced it and we have a well in the basement. it was there before the street had city water. i plan to get it working again as a backup, and we plant a bugger garden everyyear--even if some of neighbours don't like it much.

but i am hoping that we decline is slow, and i die before we hit bottom
