Pleasant surprise

When we bought green onions we frequently wound up composting part of the bunch. We buy bags of onions because it’s cost-effective. Often though we don’t use every one in time and have to compost the last few. Faye had an idea.

When these became undesirable to eat she put them in containers with a little water covering just the bottom of the bulb. After several days they sent out green shoots, so Voila! Fresh, homegrown ‘green’ onions and just enough to use before they turn into compost food.

Entangled in a web

We drove into Chatham today on errands. We took the cameras along because 1) one never knows what one might see and 2) we thought we might see Tundra Swans, which are starting to pass through our area. Just inside the north edge of the city a Bald Eagle flew over. Not a place I expected to see one. By the time I careened to a stop, Faye turned the camera on and handed it to me, and I bailed out of the car, the eagle had perched in a tall tree behind a web of twigs and limbs.
