Yesterday I came home from work to find about 10 neatly piled sunflower seeds on our front steps. Since they were not chewed all to heck I figure they were not deposited by a squirrel but a fellow gardening neighbor who noticed that absence of sunflowers from our property this year.
I figure its probably one of four other gardeners in the neighborhood, but most likely one of two since I did not see sunflowers anywhere on the other two's yard. Yes, I secretly check out what my neighbors are growing. Not that I sneak in late at night, I just slow down and stare as I pass by. Now I know I could just walk up and talk to them, but if you are wondering why then you clearly don't understand the concept of extreme shyness. I need to get a feel for someone before I just go chitchat, and perhaps someone in a very obtuse or rather ingenious way is doing the same with me. Well, game on, I will plant them.
Well whoever you are...thank you.
This gives me an idea, why not leave a few seeds for some of my favorites in the suspects mailboxes.
I hereby declare today "Give a seed to a stranger day."

Kory, your comment on my blog "Keep yer powder dry, boys" slayed me! With your okay, I'd love to use that phrase as the title of a post. I've been tossing around the idea of a post on bearing arms in regards to women and I think your phrase would be perfect!
I must admit though, a lot of my prep work is not just for the sake of quality food, but also for insurance purposes. It would take so little to upset the grocery store food-chain! A few weeks ago I was at a big box store during a storm and the lights flickered 3 times...not enough to lose power, but enough to interupt the computer systems at the checkout. An hour or more later, there were still no working checkouts, lines backed up half way through the store. I couldn't help but think "What if it were a REAL emergency, what then?" So a few extra bags of rice and beans, some canned venison and my grandfather's shotgun...all an important part of food security!
