After 3 years in the ground our espalied pear tree finally bore fruit:
It did actually put a few on last year but, following instructions from a friend, we cut the fruit early in order to focus growth on the roots. Here’s to growing your own and not letting the dogs get to the goods before we do.

This is a fine piece of guerilla gardening.

Recently I discovered an inordinate number of pings on 3 comment sections of our nearly 2 year old wedding planning blog. Michelle and will be married 2 years this September. I hadn’t touched or thought much about the blog in as many months. Who bothers with a wedding planning blog once betrothed? The blog was mothballed and only recently did it come under comment spam siege. Seems a gaggle of bots zeroed in on 3 posts and within a 4 month period posted almost 100,000 spam comments. The blog ran on Wordpress 1.5 and comment spam protection was minimal. Akismet had yet to arrive.
