I'm back. We went to NJ. There was traffic. I made jam there. The jam didn't set properly.

While I was gone, most of my squash died. Nothing left but the bug-eaten, dried-out, then rained upon sad vines. So today I pulled them up, boiled them up, and am making them into paper. That'll teach 'em.

The stuff I'm working on now, I can't tell if it's going to be really cool, or if it's just going to look like someone made jewelry out of dead grass. It may depend on your perspective.
