Little White Flowers at Sunset

St. Patrick's Day

Just around the corner.

Lettuce Time

Our lettuce seeds have sprouted. Time to get busy and get them in the ground.

New Old at Etsy

In my etsy store.

Oak Gall Ink

Oak galls,

a rusty nail,

and water in a jar.

It's been over a month, I've never made ink

before and was not sure how long to wait.

This tree is covered and I picked some off the ground.

I had a hard time controlling the flow but it's been

many many years since I've used a dip pen.

It's very light and brownish. I've read that is common

and should be darkening in time. We'll see.

I think I better come up with better packaging.
