stinky blue glop and parsnips

Today I learned without making an enormous blue puddle anywhere visible that there is way more blue PVC glue on that little round brushy thing in the glue can than it looks like. Also, I have it from Kansas farm folk that parsnips have to freeze before they taste good.

And for the record, the acacia trees in the neighborhood have been blooming like crazy for either five or seven days now. I hope to be able to record when they stop, and I also hope to not care about this information so much next year.
