fence part 1

It’s only taken 9 months, but we’re actually–finally–building a fence in our backyard. In the next couple of days, the dog will have complete freedom to run like a maniac, chasing rabbits and birds. Today the fence company came to install the posts. Tomorrow or Thursday, after we have a couple of trees and tree stumps removed, they’ll be back to complete the project.

I would be quite comfortable living in this house, too.

in the backyard

White Hydrangea 3

We have a white hydrangea tree in the backyard. I don’t know much about plants, flowers or gardening, but I do know that what we have growing back there is indeed a hydrangea tree. Google told me so.

I haven’t been taking very many photographs lately, and I miss it. So, with nothing else on my afternoon agenda, I walked around the tree with my camera, happily shooting away. I would love to take a photography class to get better at my craft. (That feels funny, calling it my craft. But I don’t paint or draw or sew or design, so photography is the only craft I’ve got. Oh, and knitting. I knit a bit, too.)

Briscoe watched me from the back door, wondering why he couldn’t come outside and play along side me. Soon, pup, we’ll have a fence back there, and you can romp around to your heart’s delight!

eggplant parm

Eggplant Parm

Last night Jamie came over for dinner, and, with my help, J prepared a delicious eggplant parmesan using an enormous Italian Eggplant that we bought over the weekend at the Farmers Market. Going to the Farmers Market Saturday mornings has quickly become one of my favorite things to do over the weekends. You just feel so healthy buying such beautiful locally produced vegetables and, occasionally, meat.
