A few thoughts and photos from my Summertime world in Northern Canada.

It was hard not to notice their symmetry! Back at the ranch, it's time to harvest some herbs for the dinner pot. ![q1.JPG](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/7abec94280eebc7cba525547c1968cd8eb318326.JPG) That's my young apple tree, surrounded by oregano plants in their glory. They survived the Winter and have been growing strong since April. ![q2.JPG](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/55cf06a9634492bf214bca4365568d8ff3d1ec68.JPG) Plenty of healthy fresh growth to harvest. You can see where I chopped them back a few weeks ago, gathering enough to preserve with my dehydrator. But tonight, I want it fresh. ![q3.JPG](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/c6b74912d43c7f6eedeed9058db027c6f31a2975.JPG) Better grab some of this sweet basil, too. I like keeping a few plants in a pot so I can provide them with the right amount of sunlight. The smell is intense but pleasant, especially once cut or picked! ![q4.JPG](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/b9395e877034a306c644df7697c4b1060c36db83.JPG) I decided to pull up a garlic (one of the Yugoslavians) and chop it up for the pasta sauce. YUMM! No, I didn't include those 4 little mushrooms from the start! I just thought they were worth a photo, doing their little thing there, so cute. Aside from that, I've been looking at the BLURT price. It has been going up a bit in the last few days as the overall crypto market sees another big boost. However, if you zoom out and view the price over the last month, it doesn't look as pleasant... ![image.png](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/557c1216930a35ab89aa66f7bb4d34247ffd0ff6.png) BLURT was at one quarter of a cent when someone purchased $10,000 worth, but the price immediately crashed back below where it had started, and has yet to recover. Many of the altcoins are beginning their bull market now. Let's hope BLURT wakes up and joins the action during this cycle, because if not, it will probably send a signal to any potential investor that it's a failed currency. Luckily, we still have several months in which to make this happen. First, we'll retake that 0.0025 USD level, then work on one cent. After that we'll go for a nickel (where it was 4 years ago), and then hopefully make a new all-time high before Christmas. Sound good? Let's go! ![letsgrowblurt.png](https://img.blurt.world/blurtimage/drutter/6d1da64a680485f7b3a8f073a988d36f0b5ea4ed.png) And grow in peace.
