summer salad

here in the PNW we get a little excited about the sun. since we don't get much of it.
but this weekend, this weekend is more than just the first real sunny weekend, since I just finished up spring quarter on thursday. it's the real beginning of summer!

tonight we have a retirement/birthday party to head to, tomorrow we might hit up the local wooden boat festival. then i'm off to BelovedCity a couple times this week. maybe hit up the farmers market. then some shopping, camping, a trip to the ocean... ah! i love summer!

right now i'm suffering from a major allergy attack... maybe something i got into at the nursery yesterday? so i'm not on my a-game today, and it feels baaad not being able to take full advantage of the weather. damn allergies!!! i haven't been knocked out by them for year, so i really wasn't prepared. if only i was the kind of person who could take a real nap. i try, but i end up torturing myself cause i can't ignore all the ideas or thoughts or worries or inspirations that float through my head on a sunny afternoon. it's horrible, better to find my fuzzy-headed way to the computer and get my post done. even if it's just so i can tag SCU back. (you're IT!)

at least i got my pea and carrot seeds sown this morning. and i made an epic salad, with seven different herbs from my garden. :)




that dirty plate to the right is just some crumbs from my super awesome everything bagel with cream cheese. eaten on my back porch, pooch at my feet, kitty on the other chair, looking out at my new garden. don't think it gets much better than this.

have i mentioned how much i love summer?
even on a crappy day, it sure beats the hell out of any other season.
