bits from the weekend

It's a sadly dreary monday this morning (um, summer? where art thou?), kind of rainy and grey and not at all the way I like to start the week. I also have to report to jury duty. Which I suppose is kind of perfect, in that monday sort of way. Though I do intend to march into the funny little waiting room and fill out the yellow slip of paper declaring my need for postponement. Again.

So instead of dwelling on such inconveniences as returning to work and fulfilling my civic duty, I will share some weekend shots. It was also grey, and fast, but moderately productive and always satisfying.



Thinning breakfast radishes. Always sad.




But less so when you get to feed the seedlings to your chickens. (I swear I will get tired of posting on the chickens one day).




4 eggs from 4 chickens... we sold the impossibly loud white one on craigslist on Saturday. Love craigslist.




Burgundy okra babies giving it a go in California. Everything grows in California, right?




Hung the lights for Melanie's shower. T-minus 3 weeks. Must start serious menu planning this week.




Pretty dried protea family flowers from last month. Love that they keep looking lovely even when you forget to refill their water for weeks.




And jewel-y roasted beets. Truly one of the most delicious of all simple foods.


There now. Maybe monday won't be so bad.
