I have to express my love of Almond Roca for a second - it is possibly my favorite candy..I have a weak spot for English Toffee in general. I am unsure why it is exactly - the gold foil? The almonds (also my favorite nut)? The butterscotch crunch? Whatever it is, I love it so, and my family sent over a package that included a big bag of Almond Roca so I've been nibbling away at the treasures each and every day. We'll see if they last until Dan comes back from Iceland (next Wednesday!!)
Yesterday morning I happened upon some abandoned lumber during a walk with Hannah. I came by later with the Matrix and loaded her up. I made some carpenter bees very upset as well as a sunning lizard that may or may not have jumped ship before loading. Lets hope the lizard can find an escape hatch from the Matrix if it is there.
Anyhow, the wood was *near* perfect for my new low garden bed! I say "near" because it was riddled with screws that I had to remove before cutting them down to size. She's not the most square, level, or pretty box, but she'll do. I planted some of the tomato plants and lettuce in our other box...I think I should probably name the boxes to help develop their own unique personalities. Soon I hope to have 4 boxes in total filled to the brim with veggies...
Last night we had a BIG thunderstorm that lasted throughout the night. Hannah setup shop in the bathroom as per usual and I sat alone in the living room listening to the rain and watching the lightening strike down upon Tuscaloosa...
The beer is doing well still, thick and bubbly like a batch of sourdough starter. Come Thursday I'll move it into the glass carboy and add in the dry hops for added aroma - yum!
Here are a few more pics, mostly of the garden!
I leave you with a video from a couple weeks ago:
