Lis's Project 365

It was so amazing and wonderful to have Kat and Bob over in real life, and just chat and hang out.  I miss our friends terribly, and look forward to gradually getting back together with people.

I was walking around the yard when something fell from the sky, very nearly hitting me on the head.  It appears to be the remains of an apple or a pear, enjoyed by some squirrel and then dropped when I was underneath.  Jerk.

Our Imperfect Foods list this week included “carrots,  approx 1 lb.”  I like carrots, so I bumped it to approximately 2 pounds.  And that is what they sent us, just not quite as I expected.

When I pour myself a glass of cold water on a warm summer day, sometimes I like to add a slice of lemon.  For some reason, Doug and I have this running gag that whenever we are out for dinner, and water is served with lemon, we both are obligated to comment, “There’s lemon in the water.”  I don’t know how or why this started.

Next on the “recipes for raspberries” gallery….  raspberry/cherry popsicles.  Perfect for a 90+ degree day.

Haven’t eaten one yet, but it sure looks yummy.  We are the Raspberry Kings.

This is what I did today.  For work.

Ferrous went into the living room and guarded this toy very closely for 5 or 10 minutes, then he was done with it.  Funny boy.

I know cicadas are harmless, but they’re just too damn big.

A while back when I was home with pneumonia or something, my friend Ellen stopped by with a care package.  It included 2 molds for boiled eggs–one of the most Japanese things ever.  I don’t use them often, but I made eggs yesterday, and Doug wanted to try it out.  I had this with my breakfast this morning.
