I woke up this morning to find both kitties on the couch downstairs. 
I guess Winnie was cold.

I finally made it to the famous Russo’s tonight. I have no idea what these things are, how you cook them, or even how to get close enough to try.
I suppose a blowtorch might do the trick.

You find out a lot about people when you buy their house. For an example, we had no idea they were the type of people who would…
…put a paper clip down the garbage disposal. You’ll note there’s still some paper attached — my guess is the IRS was at the door.

Our house has a number of well-established (some would say over-established) foundation plantings. You saw Lis’s picture of our azaleas earlier in the spring; now the rhododendon bushes are in their full glory. 
I have to say, the supposedly very nice rhododendrons at the old house never looked this good.

I stepped out the front door this morning, only to discover that I had left my camera inside. Why did I need my camera so early, you ask? Because there was a family of raccoons in the storm drain in front of the house.
This family may have just found a comfortable place to spend the day, or they may be semi-permanent residents of the storm sewer. Either way I think I’m glad we don’t have a vegetable garden.

Betsy is in from out of town, and she, David, and Linda visited us for dinner tonight.

I made a pilgrimage to Penzeys today. 
I had been holding off buying more spices until we were more settled into the new kitchen.

One of our favorite grill-season meals is spit-roasted chicken.
We have finally unearthed both the spit and its motor, and did not suffer a power failure during cooking like we did last time we tried this.

I’ve been intending to take this picture for a while now, but tonight I finally got around to it.
You are looking straight up from our foyer to the ceiling on the 3rd floor. I may try again in the daylight — when I’m sure the mood will be entirely different.

On my way into work this morning, despite the overcast & drizzle, I saw the moon.
Oh wait, that’s the WGBH billboard thing.
Sorry for the blurriness, but I had like 1/2 a second to take the picture when traffic slowed.
