A Wee Celebration
Tuesday, June 5th 2007
A kind of rain dance in reverse.We got wonderful, soaking rain yesterday and I spent the entire day in the kitchen. I cleaned out the fridge in preparation for the summer bounty of fruits (berries!) and veggies, cleaned the oven, the coffee maker, the toaster, the Brita pitcher; all those little things that I tend to put off way too long. Then I made Marcella Hazan's wonderful rabbit with rosemary and white wine and tossed it with some casareccia.
I just felt the need for something ...
Rain, Lovely Rain
Monday, June 4th 2007
We need more, but I'm grateful for what we've gotten so far in part because now I have an excuse not to go out today and wrestle with the tiller and the 40lb. bags of composted cow manure. I do hope to get out later and park myself on an upturned bucket to do some easy weeding. The first Gerald Darby iris blossom is open this morning.With the cooler weather I'm looking forward to doing some real cooking this week. I have a rabbit soaking in the fridge for tonight and tomorrow I'm planning...
Where's The Rain?
Sunday, June 3rd 2007
In the Carolinas maybe? We really need some rain and I could use the excuse to take a break from the work in the yard & garden. I think I've been overdoing it and my feet need some time off.I did keep up my Tues./Thurs./Sun. park schedule this morning and the chestnut-sided warblers seem to be staying put in two locations along my hike. The second fella's song is my reward for my second climb.
I concentrated on adding some calories yesterday despite the heat and I think I notice...
The Pollen Storm
Saturday, June 2nd 2007
The house is surrounded by evergreens and this time of year they cut loose with heavy, yellow pollen. It's actually pretty amazing but it means having to wait to put in screens and open windows until well into June if we don't want it everywhere in the house. Last night I left the window over the kitchen sink open a crack and this morning the counter was covered in pollen.The house is old, plaster and lath construction, so it takes a while to warm up and so far with fairly low humidity i...
A New Hat
Friday, June 1st 2007
I'm amazed how many changes I've made in the past few weeks. I think taking on the CK program has given me a chance to restructure several aspects of my daily routine and now doing things differently has become a goal in itself. I think the more changes I can make now the better the chance that I'll stick with the diet and exercise program.I used to get out in the cool of the morning and do a lot before the heat of the day but that habit got away from me as I let other things slip. This m...
