Project 365: Day 104

The Moss Piglets

Sally and I met up for our usual Thursday lunch date AND got to listen to some great bluegrass music. The group was called The Moss Piglets and three of the members are from my alma mater Grinnell College. One of the members plays a melodica!

Project 365: Day 103

Fruit Leather

My dad gave me a dehydrator for my birthday. I've been playing around with it lately. So far I have made dehydrated strawberries, cherries and fruit leather. The fruit leathers I made overnight last night. You can make lots of flavors of fruit leather, but I opted for apple since all I had to do was spread the applesauce on the trays and turn it on. After they get done dehydrating you can remove them from the trays and cut them into the size you want. Easy peasy and super tasty.

Knitting Library

My knitting books have a home in the new house! We made these bookshelves out of old wooden drawers that I rescued from the curb in Somerville about 3 years ago. And, as I have been advised, they leave enough room for growth. My craft room/guest room is coming along nicely. The futon couch/bed is being delivered this week. After that there will just be a few little gaps to fill in before I will have my own personal crafting hideaway.

And So It Begins

Paul and I ate our first locally grown tomatoes of the season for dinner tonight. And, what better way to eat them than in a Caprese Sandwich. (Has anyone else ever noticed that this famous Italian sandwich is made of ingredients that perfectly match the Italian flag?)The basil is from my dad's garden, the bread is from a local bakery and the mozzarella is from the coop. Which reminds me, did you see that locavore made it into Meriam-Webster? Summer eatin' makes me a happy vegetarian!

Smashing Cake

Today Paul and I joined Jamie and her family to celebrate Sylvia's first birthday. Sylvia was much more interested in smashing her cake instead of eating it. Maybe she was still full from all of the cake she ate on the 4th of July!

Today also marks my hundredth entry for Project 365. I don't know that I am seeing my life in "a whole new way" but I am finding this project surprising easy to keep up with. I am enjoying the challenge of finding photo-worthy items on otherwise humdrum days.

Cutting Garden

After a long afternoon of working in the yard, I rewarded myself with a bouquet from our rain garden. Yay! Thanks for planting those, Previous Owner.
