A Day Off


The day started out with a lovely hike at the Springbrook Tract of Lackawanna State Forest. Here Matt demonstrates a rousing game of Bite Bite, just before he loses his pinky finger and we have to rush to the ER.


Next, we weeded the garden and prepped dinner. From left to right, kale, strawberries, whiskey-mint-hibiscus drinks, pesto of garden volunteers (orach, lamb's quarters, green garlic and purslane), Hot Cocoa Rose with larkspur and bronze fennel and lavender, first peas.


Finally, the three of us relax.

Love vignette: Hot Cocoa... simply the hottest rose in years, luv it!
A full bowl of strawberries? Very jealous.
The pesto sounds awfully 'edgy' ... wouldn't have been creative enough to think of it.
Great to find you on Blotanical!

Thank you, Alice. The pesto was *too* edgy, possibly my worst ever, but at least the ingredients were poetic and nutritious.
