the tomatoes are exploding
so are the herbs
last night’s grilled chicken supper
hanging baskets are in
The Chef replaced the two dead arbor vitae this afternoon
Scout got in trouble with me today for rolling in squirrel poop instead of coming when I called
his sullenness was forgotten at suppertime, when there was grilled salmon; this is grilled salmon face
