   Nothing so good as zucchini relish. Runs rings around blah cucumber relish. I have no luck growing zucchini here (zucchini worms get the vines) but before they discovered my yard, I did grow it to make the delicious relish. If it’s available in any store, it’s a specialty item and costs like gold.

   Never had to deskunk a dog but did have to (TWICE!) remove porcupine quills from a certain idiot dog’s nose. You’d think that the lesson would have stuck (pun intended) but no. Wondered how the dog even knew how to breathe.

    I have milkweed growing along the pond. Almost never see a caterpillar. Did see a few monarchs this year, though. Did any of you see on MLB site the monarch that landed on a pitcher’s glove as he was about to release the ball?
