The Stillroom

I could have wallowed but I did not. I envisioned a good day so I made it happen. I picked up a couple of plants, bought a lemon pie and shared some. Grabbed a matcha on ice, got some things shifted around to ready the house for a little construction work, grabbed lunch with Mike and worked on my quiet space. The natural hedgerow is going gangbusters. I don’t think fences really make good neighbors. I downsized the herb garden to just chives and thyme. Thyme seems be the main herb in most dishes on the food network, anyhow. It is a perennial herb so it will give season after season. Sometimes our neighborhood is so quiet, you can hear a pin drop. The past half hour has been a neighbor yelling at someone or the dog, dogs barking, lawnmowers and the police at the shooting range target practicing. We have clover popping up all over the back yard! Yay. It’s a good day.
