home and garden

we went to Maine

We had a great time up north (and east), and only regret coming back earlier than we wanted to as a result of the weather. We should have stuck it out; it ended up not being as bad as forecast. Oh well, it just means we could have all sorts of fun at home today—plus do some painting and laundry. Good times!

While I wished our trip could have been longer, I was unreservedly happy to get back to the garden. We didn't miss the first tomato—a couple more days for that, I think—but even still there's enough coming ripe that our supper this evening was nearly all local to our backyard: cucumbers, purslane, licorice basil, lacinato kale, and red onion went together to make a pretty tasty salad.

I took a number of pictures in Maine—215, to be exact—but not all of them are good. I'll post some more of them tomorrow, if I can find room in my busy schedule.
