Lis and I both got our post-Pandemic haircuts today, and went out to eat to celebrate.

I pitched in to help build this platform in front of a local restaurant, so their COVID parking-space-takeover outdoor seating is level with the sidewalk for accessibility. We had a team of 6 (including 2 Newton city councilors), and it was lovely to be outside working on this gorgeous day.

Vaccinated (fully) Day, that is. I celebrated by taking myself out for Indian food for lunch.

By definition

I wish I could coax this groundcover to spread more in our garden. Its flowers are only about 1/4″ across, but they’re a brilliant purple-blue and last for over a month.

 

 

It’s never the most relaxing morning when you need to call the electric company at 8am. Various things in the house weren’t working, and I finally figured out (before coffee, mind you) that we had lost one phase of our electric service. The nice lineman diagnosed it as a loose connection where their wire attaches to the house, and everything was fixed by 10.

On this day in 2009 we moved to Newton.

After two weeks I’ll be fully cooked.

This insect came for a visit as we sat around the fire pit.
