Oh no, she's domestic.

I know, maybe you wouldn't have guessed it, but I've turned all domestic. I'm hanging my laundry out to dry on a line above my (actually-producing-food) gardens and learning about charcoal grills and sitting out on a balcony sipping adult beverages with my husband and pups* (Turtle stays inside climbing things).

Sundays have always been linen washing days and the summer makes them more fun. As does owning my very first and very own retractable clothes line.
I've got enough zucchini growing to feed the neighborhood (or friends who would like some) and the tomatoes are starting to come in. And my gardens continue to flourish much to my amazement. There is even a resident spider (Herbert, if you must know).
We finally got a grill and love it.
And we added seating and potted moss to our balcony for warm summer evening sitting and pondering.
These are some peas and carrots from my garden that we grilled with garlic and onions, alongside salmon burgers.

The summer has also brought with it a renewed vigor for bike rides everywhere (library, grocery store, Sunday brunch, etc.) and walks around the neighborhood twice daily. Thank goodness for the sun these days.

This next week we are off to camp at Mt. Rainier (my birthday present from Ryan and Lauren).

Stay tuned.... more on the surprise (yep, it stayed a surprise) birthday party Ryan and friends threw for me.

xo, Meg

*I just re-read this and it looks like our pups drink adult beverages too. I guarantee that they do not. At least not that they tell me.
