The farmers markets here are still mostly leafy greens. Some asparagus, and hothouse tomatoes, and this week I got garlic scapes, but it's mostly greens and will be for another few weeks, probably.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Whereas in GA I have zucchini and beans and tomatoes in my own yard already. On the other hand, it is 96 degrees. Wanna trade?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We went out and bought a fan for our back porch and replacements for our yard lights (which are now just $1.99 bulbcovers and are kinda fugly)--birthday present of the DH. While at the Lamps Plus Outlet store, we spied a set of metal trunks. They were slightly scratched and so we got them for $130 for the pair, plus J had them throw in a lifetime replacement for our lamps. Sweet!

It is 89 here...hot enough. I'm sure my CSA box will be full of leafy stuff for a while. Our pick-ups start in two weeks!

The stuff at the farmers' market was enough for me to put together a pretty good dinner with some pantry staples -- pasta with spinach, tomatoes, garlic scapes, and canellini beans. Still in the process of cooking it, but I think I'll throw in a bit of white wine, and maybe some oregano.

I didn't make it to the market Saturday, but they start Wednesday markets in June, so Imma go on Wednesday
I bought a tomato plant, and will buy a couple more, but I need tomatoes now. I also want to see if they have berries yet. I think I'll have to wait a couple of weeks for peaches.
I bought a mint plant, and I think I'll pick up a parsley plant. I really have to focus on container gardening this year. Which is still 1000X more than I did last year.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Our CSA has totally been asparagus, leafy greens, and herbs. Next week we get strawberries, though.

I have hit a wall in the house cleaning / decluttering. 4 things to mail out and 1 medium box of things tagged for a garage sale.

I finished my reread of A Clash of Kings.
That pretty much killed my day.

Our farm box had eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, summer squash, mushrooms, cantalope, peppers, pattypan squash, and sprouts. Nom! We are doing eggplant parmesan tonight.
