Grandparents’ Day

I was thinking about Nonna this morning; a comment in yesterday’s gardening seminar brought back memories of her putting raw dandelion or chickory greens, I’m not sure which, in salads. I think she called them “radich”, although she rolled the r so that it sounded more like “ladich”.

I’ve been up for a while; fed Neptune’s to the hydrangeas, raked the back lawn and watered. Seeded and fertilized some bare spots in the back.

Anyway, to commemorate the day, here’s a picture of my youngest grandchild, sporting his back-to-school haircut.
