My Wednesday did not go according to plan from the get-go.<\/p>\n

One thing that slipped was a trip to town for supplies.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This morning, Thursday morning … in a “kill two birds with one stone” frame of mind, I whistled Bear into Wild Thing for the gathering of supplies, the download of some large files on town’s 4Glte (!!!) and who knew what else.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The morning was beautiful: cool and misty as the sun rose over the mountains and through the woods.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bear was ALL in for a bit of RV adventure!<\/p>\n

We stopped on the way for a walk, parked in a shady spot near the grocery for the download and supply gathering…we both had our breakfast “on the road” – and then headed for home to make it just in the nick of time for a late morning work\/meeting session.<\/p>\n

Later…<\/p>\n

Thursday, is CSA garden day.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I got to thinking about it being August… and we’ve had some heat and sun and …WOW, the garden might start spewing forth some different things pretty soon!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And it did! The bag felt like 10 pounds: beets (WITH greens!!), ‘taters, peas & carrots, a head of lettuce, parsley, basil, KALE!, some “spring green” mix. I called on neighbors and friends to share.<\/p>\n

Last week’s bag was good and I used it all…nothing new to report but I continued to enjoy the shredded carrot salad, the pea pesto (my absolute favorite non-basil pesto), a broccoli salad, chard-spinach-mushroom stir fry… <\/p>\n

Next week’s cooking from the garden – it should have some new stuff.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Thursday evening…Bear did his “it is too hot” version of the perimeter patrol and then found a shady spot to have a treat. I let Bob out and he sprawled near us on the porch. I told them, that their nearness to each other and me – it was the absolute BEST birthday month present they could give. <\/p>\n

We all sat together and enjoyed. It was 85 but not unpleasant in the shade with a soft breeze and my good boys. Actually, it was heaven to me.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bear ultimately decided the cool of the house had appeal. I got the camera and tripod to capture a moment with Bob…who has apparently forgiven my passe taste for white wine…well, I am the one who dispenses the food, allows access to the bed, puts fleece cat blankies hither and yon…<\/p>\n
