Month: July 2009

The weather broke today.  I am glad to see the end of the humidity, if only for a couple of days.  But did it have to (with the accompanying storms) during Friday rush hour?

Cats elongate and get flatter in the heat.  Parker is so hot that he doesn’t even fit into the frame.

We’ve had extra people in the house this week (my sister’s family) which means extra food, including fruit.  And with the heat & humidity, we’ve had to take measures.

I call this photo “Still Life with Fruit Fly Trap.”

We were happy to have a quite pleasant evening in the midst of a hot humid week tonight. 

It’s a mystery what flowers & plants are going to come up in our new house’s garden.  This week’s surprise: black-eyed susans.

My entire family was at the house today to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday.

We made cupcakes from scratch for my dad’s 80th birthday, which we’re celebrating tomorrow.

Lis and I walked down to West Newton for dinner tonight.  On the way back we spotted this sign.

I always wondered where one is supposed to park one’s stickers.

I made some biscotti last week as an attempt to keep myself out of Dunkin Donuts on those mornings when I need a little breakfast at work.  Today I made another batch, of a different flavor.

The good weather is back!  I cooked myself some locally-caught striped bass on the grill tonight, with an olive/tomato/garlic/hot pepper salsa.  (Yes, Lis is not home this evening.)  I think the smell brought these guys out earlier than usual.
