Crazy Busy Week

Asiatic lilies continue to bloom. Beside them is our old mailbox, repurposed to hold the small garden tools.
The roof rafters are up on the green house - wahoo! While this plant home is coming along in great shape, our 40 year old house is beginning to show its age. Our upstairs bathroom plumbing sprung a leak, luckily over the downstairs tub! David took a look and decided it was time to bring in the pros.
Rainbow Swiss chard bundles, stuffed with feta cheese, wheat berries, veggies, herbs, and a single chicken sausage (for the carnivore males in the family). They were delish!
Anni is in her third and final week of cooking camp for the summer. Today she made a fruity chicken salad and then, salmon with a balsamic reduction sauce. Both were awesomely good! She had a special visitor in camp today, her school OT, Jeannie. Anni picked up her goodies after camp; a big bag of cooking utensils to use over the next year for cooking projects at home. She can't wait to get started with the pasta maker!
In other news, Alex is busy researching the Oregon Coast for our upcoming trip, and Ari is preparing for her Math final tomorrow. Many thanks to our friend, Lisa, for the review session with Ari last night! Good luck Ari!!!
