Who takes Labor Day off? There's work to be done.

| Garlic Chives |
The garlic chives are in bloom. Really they are. Rather than chop the heads off the flowers, I'm letting them go to seed. This will give me plenty of chives through the winter for baked potatoes and such. Letting the chives go to seed attracts loads of pollinators.
Butterflies and honey bees love this stuff. I can only imagine what the honey must taste like. I wouldn't mind a garlic chive honey to baste over a barbecued ham. BBQ ham? Baked potatoes? I must be hungry. Hope I can remember how to cook.

The soapstone is in and the travertine floor is being grouted today. Loads left to do: mahogany butcher block counter top, electric plates, glass and lights for the hutch, cabinet hardware, trim molding, appliances, plumbing, and counter stools. But we're moving in the right direction. I didn't think it would ever be possible but Farmer MacGregor is tired of painting.
