What on earth is that?” I asked Paul, who, coming in from the garden, was carrying what looked to be an enormous, curved yellow club.

“It’s an Armenian cucumber,” he said, depositing it with a thud on the kitchen island.

Sometimes it’s difficult to bring the funny to a weekly column when the life surrounding you isn’t always funny.

And sometimes it’s possible to mine the funny in the not-so-funny and absurd.

Paul and I purposely planted conifers of various colors and sizes around the sides of our ‘I-Hop’ years ago as it backs onto vast woodland with twin fields separated by a rather long driveway to the front.

I had fancied the idea of having our home look like it was emerging from the woods with a sort of ‘tree house’ charm to it.

What a gift it was to be delightfully surprised by the words of a child, especially when it’s far too easy to jump on the bandwagon of ‘these kids today…’

And it wasn’t as if he was being philosophical or waxing lyrical, but simply remarking from points of reference from his three and a half short years on the planet.

I mean, who wouldn’t enjoy being told that someone loves your work, that it brightens their day?

What’s in a name?

Our local feed store pretty much carries anything one might need to keep a farm running: water troughs, lumber, an ever increasing selection of feed for your horse/cow/chicken/pig/goat, and hay as green as salad.
