It was 95 degrees today and it didn't take Annie more than a few throws of the frisbee to start panting like she had run a mile. The poor girl has been in the house too much for her liking and she's really feeling it since I've been working long hours and John too. Soon John will be in school though and she'll have her best friend around and willing to read law books all day next to her on the bed.
I made my first pie of the summer the other day and sitting out on the lanai it looked so good. Rhubarb, blackberry and strawberry pie. Oh my did it taste good and I was so proud of the perfectly placed crust and the tart flavor. I'm enjoying cooking a lot more now. I like taking my time with my "Lexington Farmers Market" apron securely protecting my clothes as I try to make something out the almost dying lettuce from the fridge.
My plants are doing great so far and my parsley and basil are fighting for the best spot in one of my herb pots. I'm pretty sure the tomato is growing way too big for the pot that holds it but until we move into our new house it will have to do. Soon I will have my first square foot garden w/ a cute fence that will keep Annie in as I spend my afternoon's pruning and getting dirt under my fingernails. Actually that isn't quite true because I just bought the cutest pink gardening gloves.
Oh how I love the summer.
