So, I found an article at Ignored By Dinosaurs describing how to add syntax highlighting to php-markdown code blocks...

I first downloaded the prism.js and prism.css, and placed each in the respective folders in my theme.

Working on finding a flat-file calendaring agent, I came-across LuxFind

So, I thought: can I adapt/modify it to work with HTMLy in searching the contents of all the blog posts (and not just within the filenames)?

In HTMLy, functions.php contains this code:

When Barbara said we were gana pound pansies this past Saturday, I just had to have her reiterate, 'cause, well, I had no idea...

So, you pluck some pansy/viola blooms…

Using a rubber mallet, one basically pounds the blooms between watercolor paper and parchment paper, transferring the colour from teh blooms into the absorptive paper, effectively creating an instant print!

Saturday, Barbara brought everything together that the kids could make decorative bird feeders from scratch.

Anna and I did what we could to help make Barbara's vision a success.

I forget the exact recipes, and I did not photograph much as my hands were otherwise occupied :)

Successful run of frames made these past few weeks.

Three I raffled as gifts at our Co. X-Mess party, and three I made for gifts of choice.

I'm fascinated by the elemental gifts of the Earth.

Particularly attractive is in how versatile they can be--singularly, and in the aggregate--in the construction of entirely new things.

Arriving home this afternoon, a stark contrast was apparent: my walk and stoop had been power-washed!

Grown on a hillside in North Carolina, these American boxwoods are a staple in our plantings.

I can't more eloquently describe the effect they have on a person as others have done, so I'll just share how I plant 'em.

So, today, we planted seven American boxwoods, two 5' climbing hydrangeas, and laid fourteen+ pallets of zoysia sod...add this to the 100+ already planted that you might understand the true thirstiness of a two acre piece of land, planned as it is.

Many of our customers elect to have a well drilled which serves as a water source for the irrigation which helps satisfy the thirst of the many plants their property will support.

So, teh dry is upon us once again, and this means great weather for peppers and tomatillos.

In celebration, I always make a coupola gallons of my own version of salsa verde.
