I don't get it, never have, never will. The idiot neighbors are trying to set the woods on fire with professional grade rocketry that is utterly illegal for them to possess or use.

In other news, I planted a second crop of lettuce, spinach, arugula, cilantro, and chard today, between rain drips.

Oh, and Argos has signed on for Le Tour de Fleece. He will be using the Bosworth charkha to spin a fine yarn of cotton and wool blended together. We had to clear off a skein of tussah silk that was still wound onto the bobbins. The silk amounted to 208 yards and weighed only 0.3 ounces. That gives an average weight of over 11,000 yards to the pound, and a grist of about 50 wraps to the inch. Very fine stuff, but quite strong.
