We had a huge crop this year so I have many 5 gallon containers steeping in the back of the garden. I brought a jug of it to the studio today and when I opened it I almost passed out! phew, what a stink. I quickly through in some wool yarn and put the cover back on...I'll tend to it outdoors on a warmish day.<br /><br />Your blog looks great and the larger pics were no trouble to load.<br /><br />Happy Nov to you...ShishiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-40113078216626160302011-11-02T16:00:44.646-06:002011-11-02T16:00:44.646-06:00they loaded just fine and look great!
