That's a very fitting new title and theme for your journal. Winter wheat has nutritional benefits, including a higher protein content. So the reward of this planting is greater...IF we we make it. I look forward to where your new adventures and reports will take us!

Supposedly it last a couple years. Also red winter wheat is an heirloom variety. I bought quite a bit when everyone started talking about Gates messing with the food supply but haven't used any. Glad I have it, although I think it would be better used in Gaza.

What's the status of your trip?

Well, Cara, you have to be able to connect to your own writing and Winter wheat is a whole lot better than ergot.

WW - what's not to like - and with the cover of your moody wintry landscape of Magnuson Park - Seattle - excellent. I was driving back last night from visiting my mother (on the cusp of turning 94) who lives in a rural city some 310 km north from where I live on the Pacific Ocean coast in S-E Australia. The sun was setting to my right as I drove south - a bright golden splash from a point to the slightly north-west - emerging beneath towering and well-defined rain clouds - while to my left the nearby western slopes of the Great Diving Range were bathed in the gold (from that western torchlight). And then - weirdly - a tall spire of truncated rainbow above that. It lasted well after I could no longer see the sun - now dipped below the horizon - and high overhead from the west a pinkish glow rose up and through the layers of cloud overhead. It was splendid. Early days of autumn (fall) here in Terra Australis. Jim
