I stumbled upon the above image while looking around a bit on-line. It is a fellow who is holding a variety of tobacco leaves that he had grown in his home garden and was currently in the midst of harvesting, drying and curing the leaves.
For a few years, I had contemplated taking a try at growing some tobacco in my home garden, or more likely due to their having a larger yard and larger garden space, the home garden of my in-laws. My father-in-law and I talked about and discussed this a few times, and we had a firm plan to buy some seed and plant it early indoors in the Spring before transplanting it into the garden for the Summer sun. We unfortunately made that plan a few months before he died. It would have been fun to try.
With my having given up my pipes closing in upon two years ago.... this is one dream that has FIGURATIVELY gone up in smoke.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
