I ate my first garden veggies. Basil and chives. Small but delicious. I am also growing (not killing!) several others and can't wait to eat them.
We had friends over for the 4th. There was wine and conversation. Good times.
I took them on a hike through the redwoods. You want the free tour? Come visit! I still have limited availability!
Oh the bookstore. I went, but instead of buying books (since I am banned) I wrote down some new finds. A few on the list (pictured below): Up: A Mother and Daughter's Peakbagging Adventure Blood, Bones and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of the Little House on the Prairie
A sign inside a local store. Are we allowed to say this in public now?
The temperature while I was in Oregon! Summer? Hello? And I hear people are having a heat wave.
I dropped a jar of pickles. My biggest regret? I wanted the jar to store beans in. Also I got glass pretty much EVERYWHERE. I was finding it in corners for days afterward!
On my runs, I go past these every day. Do you know how hard it is not to run with scissors and a bag and bring some home next time?
Beer fest. Verdict? I can't drink $30 worth of 4 oz beer. But I tried.
How was your week? Who does the shopping in your household? Do you like artichokes?
