okay, i fell of the line-a-day blogging wagon. started falling back into the trap of feeling like each post needed to be of Great. Significance. and therefore avoiding the task all together. one shouldn’t be intimidated by one’s hobbies. for tonight:

i planted basil, cilantro, parsley, basil and basil and more basil in a container on the back porch this evening. i am hoping for a mid-summer harvest of as much basil as possible, for a ginormous batch of pesto. a couple of years ago we got some huge bunches of basil from our CSA and i made a batch of pesto big enough to fill our largest mixing bowl. B possibly thought i’d lost my mind, but he came around when, the following January, we were still enjoying fresh (well, fresh from the freezer) pesto on everything.
