Our nation's birthday isn't the only reason to celebrate. We harvested the first major batch of garlic this morning and it looks great. I'm going to let the rest sit for a few days in the hopes that they'll get bigger. Raspberries are starting to ripen (in another week, I think the crop will be huge) and the rest of the yard is looking pretty good.
Like my fellow OPers, I'll be putting on my "Impeach Cheney" T-shirt, watch the parade, and listen to folk music in the park all day. Of course, the day in Mayberry (oops, I mean the OP) will be capped with fireworks down at the high school. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!
