And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Squash, they are a growing!
The wife picked these this morning. I can't wait for the tomatoes.
I'm nearly a tomato addict. I simply love them in all of their permutations.
Europe before Columbus was a Europe without tomatoes. Can you imagine Italy without tomatoes? What did they eat - dry pasta? And while I realize that pizza is a modern concoction, if you take the tomatoes away, you can replace it with pesto, but pine nuts came from the New World too.
The squash hasn't been squished yet.
