Quite a day

Quite a wonderful day. 

And I think we’re on to something.  After Judi, Jan and Susan left, I began experimenting with leftovers from our time together.  Spreadable goat cheese, purple basil, miscellaneous edible flowers.  

Then, for some reason, all my pictures disappeared.  Last time that I "delete originals" after importing them.  Not good.

It was a spontaneous “Come at 4:30 to brainstorm ideas for Father’s Day and beyond.”

We began picking and eating fresh things from the boxes and mixing them with what little I had on hand (Bolani, goat cheese, a few ready-made sauces). 

Judi rolled a piece of arugula around the goat cheese.  And it went from there. 

Not only were the ideas that were generated ones that I definitely/ultimately want to implement (go horizontal with fabric to define an intimate eating space) but sharing time together laughing in the newly formed, not quite completed, garden, was simply terrific.   Thank you, good friends.

Let’s do that again.  And again.  Soon, OK? 

Next time, I’ll give advance warning so that perhaps you, too, will join us! 

And, Anne, I loved our time together both walking this morning and tonight after your Big Tournament. 

Much love and safe travels to you, wonderful person/mom/soon-to-be grandmother.
