Month: August 2014

The label on this wine (from my wine club) is a real throwback stylistically.

I bought Sandor Katz’s The Art of Fermentation and this is my first attempt: farmer’s market green beans and garlic in a simple brine (plus a coworker’s hot pepper in one jar). These will ferment on their own, as I have read, due to the naturally-occurring lactic acid bacteria on the vegetables.

I went to my office’s summer outing on Thompson Island today. It was an awesome setting on a beautiful day.

It is here.

He has his people back.

I always seem to take this photo from the ferry, but this year’s came out well. Good-bye to the Vineyard for another year.

Have I mentioned that we had great weather this week?

Bird walk with Claire, Jeff, and Kat today. This is a green heron.

My 15 year old bike pump broke today. My fix involved a screw and some bailing wire found in the junk drawer of our rental house.

Not bad for a photo taken from a moving bicycle.
