Yes, another photo post – sorry. It’s just that the market was so full of great stuff this morning. Food porn, in the flesh. Even though I’m getting more and more produce from my garden, there are lots of things I can’t resist buying at the market. This week I spent $25 and got a [...]

Goodbye, Spring!
Posted in Gardening, tagged DC, flowers, photos, spring on June 1, 2010 | 3 Comments »
It’s not rare in DC for there to be very little spring. It just goes straight from winter to summer, like that. We had a few nice weeks here and there, but now it’s definitely the hot and sticky season. No high under 84 on the 10-day forecast, and no low under 67. So, a [...]

I’m off on business to Minnesota for a couple of days. It’s going to be a high of 9 degrees there on Thursday. OMG. I don’t know how people survive there. In the meantime, here’s a nice picture of the chocolate lab my mom has trained to hunt for truffles back in the temperate Northwest. [...]

DC’s first snow of the year fell on Saturday – a wet, ploppy kind of snow that didn’t really stick on the sidewalks, but left some accumulation on the grass and bushes. So today I trekked out to my garden plot to see whether any of my winter vegetables had survived. It’s very peaceful out [...]
