Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

Sounds very Texan. (When I go looking, though, the pictures look just like the Italian and Turkish peppers I see in the grocery stores here.)
It's beautiful!
Is that a hot pepper, Maureen? I like the loop in the main stalk. Is that how it got the 'horn' name? I have a few pepper plants and a tomato plant growing on my sun porch - where the Deer can't get to them! -Michelle
David, I think it's basically a variety of generic chili pepper. It will eventually get red, I hope. But it is proof that gardining is not for, well, naught. And we had some of my lemon basil on Thai food the other night.
Michelle, that is a hot pepper. In fact, it's Bob's hot pepper since he asked me to get a hot pepper plant when I got my TWO tomato plants. Both heirlooms. Neither, however has 'set blossoms' whatever that mean. At least, not yet.
