Bits & Bobs & Boxes
…were scattered all over the place until just today. Still a cadre of boxes awaits in the garage. Wowser, has the unpacking ever been intense! Getting back to blog soon but the cool things where we are right now:
- a massive and research-friendly library nearby that doesn’t mind you setting up a laptop and staying awhile…
- a WholeFoods Market & Trader Joe’s just down the street - no hiking far afield for organics…
- Huddart County Park (acres of REDWOODS - woo!), up high in the hills near where we live…
- the joy of seeing tall ships (for which read "clipper" - yes, real ones!) sailing by the hubby’s office window…
- air that is much, MUCH cleaner than in the valley (San Jose, Silicon Valley) and much cooler…
- the pool Kraken. The hubby, a mythology buff, has dubbed the little robot that floats around the pool on a tether and vacuums up fallen leaves and other tree debris, "the Kraken". Presumptuous thing - it snuck up and suckered my leg once, nearly scaring me out of a few year’s growth.
Blissful Moments: In the San Francisco peninsula piedmont , it is far too cold to actually use the pool until late May. (oddly enough said pool is shaped like a gigantic piece of candy corn…) But the sun shines bright, the winds blow cool and pleasant and herbs are beginning to poke up tiny shoots in the kitchen window greenhouse - parsley, miniature basil, lemon basil, chervil, chives, cilantro, tarragon, savory, variegated sage, oregano and lavender. The summer will be rife with tasty morsels and fragrant moments….
