a day in photos: sunday june 10, 2012

the day started out with breakfast: grilled tomatoes, grilled asparagus,
a fried egg on a "nest" of alfalfa sprouts, and salsa verde.

we decided to go on a hike, and wanted to pack a lunch. we ran out of peanut butter (!)
so i made a pseudo pb&j with cocoa almond spread and raspberry preserves.

midday garret and i climbed to the top of mount olga just outside of
wilmington. there's a great trail in the molly stark state park.
at the top of the summit, there's an old fire tower, which
we were able to climb. the summit was 2440 feet, the fire tower was
another several hundred feet up. in the distance, you can see wilmington.

afternoon coffee on the deck.

late afternoon garret and i both did work on the deck. murgy took a post overlooking the yard,
where she barked. and barked. and barked. (damn chipmunks!)

murgy found herself a perch from which to
keep watch over the yard.

around 8 while talking to my dad i turned on the christmas lights,
which i never took down and now love even more
 in the summer than i did in the winter.

for dinner i made angel hair tossed with olive oil, with grilled tomatoes,
 asparagus, shrimp, and freshly grated parmesan.
we got most of this stuff at the wonderful brattleboro co-op yesterday.

and i'm ending the day with a cup of immune-boosting echinacea tea,
because our engagement party is six days from today and
i can't handle the idea of getting sick!
