I spent my summer measuring time by what was in season, baby greens and chards, blueberries then strawberries. The first week with a scattering of tomatoes that leads into tables covered in a sea of red a few weeks latter. We waited for hot peppers with pained pleasure and burned our mouths on homemade salsa which is another kind of pain/pleasure. Every Sunday Dave and I would walk up to the farmers market buy armloads of veggies, bread, jams and meat and spend the rest of the day cooking and reading the New York Times. Not too bad. 

It is still a little wild at the new apartment. As Dave puts it it is ALMOST just really messy instead of just half unpacked. We have most of the painting done now. Still need to do the kitchen, but at least that yellow ceiling is gone! I don't care how cluttered it still is. I love living here. 

So these are the colors that the old tenet painted. We will be changing everything except the green bathroom which we like. I think at some point Dave talked about making a floor plan of the apartment which would help. These are not in any kind of order so it makes it even harder to tell what's what. The dark blue is the room just off the kitchen which will be our dinning area/my office. We are planning on putting up a curtain to cover up that storage closet. The orange room is the living room and the very small room with green curtains is the bedroom. That pink stuff is a small entry way (makes a big difference, much better than opening up into a main room) which we will be painting a new color for sure. I Love all the built in cabinets but hate the carpet. We will see what we can do...
