🌱 Popcorn Progress Day 180, a deeper story about The Popcorn (a short 🧵). I have posted on my regular feed that I am an alcoholic, recently hitting my 6-year mark in recovery. I began that journey with really good outpatient group therapy. The therapist asked what missed doing. 1/

🌱 Popcorn Progress Day 179. One quart mason jar's worth of yummy Popcorn! Fun journey this year. May increase from three to five rows next year.

🌱 Popcorn Progress Day 177. It popped! And it's delicious! Finally felt like the ears were dry enough such that I could shuck them by hand. Shucked a test ear and popped the kernels. I just put a sprinkling of Jacobsen Salt Co. Kosher Salt on it and we swear there is a buttery flavor. #zone9A #pdx

Been taking April to different Pumpkin Patch every October for over 10 years. This year I combined our 20th Wedding Anniversary trip to Netarts with a trip to a great Pumpkin Patch in Tillamook. One of the biggest pumpkin fields we've seen. Hydrangea Ranch share.google/2B6xd1DoHXPX... #Halloween
