Today's weather was HOT but thankfully humidity in the, "OK i can deal with this heat" range... now that we have the AC on it is a pleasure to venture out into the garden to weed, plant and harvest because I can cool off when the heat overwhelms my sensibilities. Instead of flowers this year we have planted a Victory Garden.
The snap peas are producing... I can see tomatoes and eggplants for the first time this week... something is munching away on my Brussels sprout leaves... grrrr.... the basil is growing taller and bushier daily... my french breakfast radishes are almost ready (tasted a couple of longer specimens... spicy!) the spinach is coming up and the herbs are flourishing 😊 All in all a good harvest appears promised.
Today was the birthday of a very dear friend and NYTCC member, Carol Kolinger... we hosted her for supper out on the deck... social distancing... she is a COVID survivor. We grilled marinated chicken... we call it Shawna's chicken (Colorado DIL) because it's a riff on her recipe (we make it often)... wrapped yams in foil and baked them on the grill... accompanied by a crisp green salad, a glass of Malbec and the last of the banana bread to celebrate.
It was a delightful evening spent chatting and catching up... we hadn't seen each other since January... so glad to renew valued friendships and socialize safely. We all shared our grief about the pandemics spread among the US and our worry that is may return to the Big Apple anytime. Stay safe & healthy everyone 💞
How was your day? What's on your plate? Thoughts?
