- The garden is producing a bit, not a lot. Tons of strawberries, a handful of greens and snap peas. Carrots, tomatoes & radishes are slow. Not sure we'll ever see squash. The corn gave up around 6" in height.Started planning our trip to Disneyland this November!
- Celebrated 4th of July with family at the lakehouse. Loving this tradition, blowing stuff up on the lawn.
- Last-minute camping trip with friends, including crabbing and an awesome thunderstorm, to Saltwater State Park.
- After a harrowing 15 minutes in the garden with a slug, a spider and a dragonfly, we decided it's time for chickens. In research & development.
- Bartered a box of jars on craigslist for 20lbs of Rainier cherries. Happymaking.
- Participated in a focus group for Starbucks. Get paid to sit around and talk Starbucks for an hour with 7 like-minded people? Sign me up!
- Painted our shutters. (They were green when we bought the house, grey a few years ago, and are finally their destination color: black!)
- Built a vertical herb garden out of two pallets and some great plant-hangers.
- A little updating in our living room: new area rug and replaced the bookshelves with dyed crates.
