Dear AG,
I am very happy that you discover a poetic aspect in my "garden gnome article without garden gnome"! I hadn't thought about it at all, but now that you mention it... how nice!
To live self-sufficiently is a wonderful thought, but in today's industrial society it is hardly possible anymore. Well, we do our best to at least know where a lot of food on the table comes from. Homemade still tastes best!
Thank you very much for stopping by and your kind words,
hugs,
Chriddi
