rootofnewtThis is what greeted me when I went in to put the potatoes in the potato-kale soup.
My beloved oxalis.
Tom caught me looking over my shoulder at the approaching storm. Fortunately, I managed to pot my tulips before the wind hit. It was an awesome storm--fast, quick, dark with bright lightning. No hail or funnels, but I wouldn't be surprised if some were spawned by that system. Yes, I'm wearing a Terminal Ready shirt. My gauze skirt is pulled between my legs and tucked in my waistband so I can run back and forth fetching pots. ;)
The opossum has a friend besides boy.
Kitchen, south window. Spider plants, oxalis, windowbox with dill and pennyroyal sprouts (on the window side, I had a few cups of morning glories)... On the microwave, morning glory and two covered trays of flower and vegetable seedlings.
Kitchen, west window. Sanseveria, violets, a white oak acorn in the cup by the window, aloe in the two big pots on the right, jade in one, basil plant in a bag. On the floor, an old skillet holding the morning glory seedlings. Most of my cookbooks and cooking magazines have been taken to the new house. There are a few cookbooks, some magazines, and a bunch of printed recipes I need to put in a binder.
This is Major, one of the roaming black labs. I took this pic a couple weeks ago.

krues8drwill burn in hell for wearing a neubauten shirt tucked into khakis, but I won't tell if you won't.
Pictures of the new place. I particularly like the view on the other side of the backyard fence. And,ashbet, we have curtains that match your wallpaper.
I made a big pot of baklazhani tonight. It took me about an hour and a half to cut everything up and get the preliminary sauteeing done. I forgot how labor intensive it can be. I don't mind. I enjoy the whole process of skinning tomatoes (score bottom, put in bowl, pour on boiling water, cover, let sit for a bit, then slide skins off and gut tomato, chopping as I go). It's nice and gory.red_frog, are we still on for dinner? The apricot pirozhki don't take as long to make. What else should I bring? Do you want or need me to go shopping for anything else? Do you want boy to help with the beast-dish?
Right now, I'm eating a big bowl of pesto tortellini topped with tomato, portabello mushroom, and olive sauce. mmmm...

I covet the knotty pine kitchen.

I'm going to miss your cow stories.

Date: 2003-03-14 09:39 am (UTC)i love your new knotty pine kitchen...my gram and paw paw's upstairs was totally panelled in hand-cut (by my paw paw) knotty pine...now i feel all sentimental...oh well, it's like gas, it'll pass.
your view is erm...uh...nasty. maybe they'll move...or finish dissolving or something...yuck.
nice possum...i'm sure he'll (she'll?) miss your lil bowls of food when you're gone...maybe the new tenants would like a cat *and* a possum?
i hope that you like your new lil cute yellow house!!

Towering pines at the edges weep,
opening pores to the coming storm.
Billowing clouds blot out the sun---
one quarter left of shining sky,
bright blue, waving its last goodbye,
gobbled up in a maw of gray.
