It’s funny to me how your eye sees one thing and the camera sees something else.
I saw this:
But my camera saw this:
It’s all about perception.

Beware of anything that promises freedom or enlightenment —traps for eager and clever fools — a dog has a keener nose — every creature in a cave can justify himself. Three-fourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cave they were tricked into entering.

My friend posted this on FaceBook. Bolding and italics are entirely mine.
“Watching ‘Through the Wormhole’ while knitting. I like the show, and they have some neat conversations sometimes, but I hate when they use incorrect logic or miss the other options. This time was about how, since you can induce religious experience in human brains, it implies religious experiences are false. But since you can also induce visual, audio, and pretty much every other sensory experience, it should also imply /reality/ is false. (Note: they were not actually arguing solipsism, they just weren’t following through on their thought process). *shrugs*. Possibly, I’m expecting unrealistic levels of care from a discovery channel show…”
Think I’ll sit here and chuckle a while.

I planted garlic today!! I’m very excited. (I’m always excited when I plant stuff.)
Sow True Seeds has been advertising their garlic starts. I had it in my head that when we were in Asheville this week I would pick some up. But, on October 8th, they Tweeted that they were running through their supply and expected to be down to a single variety pretty soon. So, I called and ordered 3 varieties for them to hold for me until I could pick them up at the retail location
I got the Sampler, which was one hardneck and one softneck variety, and a softneck that intrigued me. The varieties are Red Toch (1/2 lb.), California Early and German Red (1/4 lb. each). The German Red is the hardneck.
Because I really didn’t think I needed a pound of garlic cloves, I have divided them into 4 packages, planting one in our winter lettuce bed and planning to give the same amount to 3 gardening friends.
The Red Toch (9 cloves) is across the back and halfway up the left side of the bed. The California Early (5) comes the rest of the way up the side. The German Red (4) goes across the top (house end) of the bed.
These are the instructions that came with the garlic.
