Fresh Cuts: July 29-Aug. 4

A little mishp--RT dumped an entire cup of scalding tea on his foot early yesterday and is now coping with second degree burns.  Total bummer--and that explains why I am so late to post this weekend.  We called our good friend, Carey, former full-time Bindweed babe, who came to the rescue.  Sam gave up her Saturday morning sleep-in and we got stuff done.  RT is still a cutting-machine but just not as speedy--nothing stops that man.

Bear's Britches--crazy landscape plant.  This is gorgeous and huge but has sharp thorns that can lacerate.
