July 2024
Greetings from this wayward firefly which found its way into our house.
Garden haul: carrots, snap peas, and the bucket for the wild black raspberries which didn’t even make it back to the kitchen.
A small but very necessary home improvement project: re-caulking the shower.
Can you see the wild turkey near the treeline?
Fourth of July cookout: hot dogs and the first garden green beans.
“One of everything that’s currently blooming” bouquet.
Meet our new kitten, Tolstoy, who likes to nap in the crib when he can sneak into it.
Just some beans and rice, with a garden garnish of cilantro.
Another garden garnish (dill). I thought a green bean salad with homemade dill mayonnaise would be the most brilliant idea, but it turned out mediocre. Shrug.
Progress in the experimental lentil plot.
Super dramatic skies at sunset during a thunderstorm.
Pesto pizza and berry crumble.
The first cucumbers, and a sour cream berry pie.
Garlic drying in the garage.
Working on a wood chip path around the back of the house. Cardboard for weed block (thanks to Aldi and neighbors on Buy Nothing).
Garlic on the way from the garden to the garage.
Planning out the previously mentioned path.
Sleds are just wheel-less wheelbarrows, amiright? We use ours for yard and garden work, too. And this reminds me we have some caulking to do around the kitchen sink. Those little details are satisfying.
