Snails in the kitchen

When I brought in some swiss chard from the garden I had a few

new helpers in the kitchen. I put them to work on the really tough

pots and pans.

This is our green house. We have been working on it all summer long.

With it we are looking forward towards some baby lettuce, spinach, carrots,

leaks and hopefully some garlic.

Yes we still have tomatoes ripening. Even the zucchini is still

fine even though the temperature was below freezing last night,

but no frost on the plants in the cold frame.

The aroma of the brain is something I do not mind

While wisdom escapes from Rohgaar’s lips

imagine what lies beneath his neurotic apron

a mass of cells all teaming with organelles

come traverse through the sub arachnoid space

across soft gyri and linger in shallow sulci

visit such places as occipital, parietal, and temporal

have a seat in the stella tursica and observe

the ballet between the hypothalamus and pituitary

meander through and spend some time with suprachiasmatic nuclei

then get to know the putamen and caudate of the basal ganglia

slide along the corpus collosum and meet the fornix

on your way out don’t forget the four colliculi

and the lonesome pineal gland.

Don’t worry about me, I am going to stay a while.

For the aroma of the brain is something I do not mind.

As time passes

These are just a few photos of what we have been up to. Our insatiable appetite for knowledge involving dinosaurs and trains means we spend and enormous time playing and learning about both.

Well well you look tasty, I promise I will only take a small bite!
