Puttering around in the garden...
Making lots of salads, including this delicious zesty tortellini salad (who knew that salami would go well in a salad? yum!)...
This wildly stripey diagonal box-stitch baby afghan is blocking -- I'll post proper photos and full details soon, along with a couple more crochet projects. Cotton yarn is great for the summer, but it's awfully hard on my wrists for knitting. Crocheting seems to be much easier.
----------------------------------------
Other things that are making me happy these days:
my Saltwater Sandals -- cute and comfy!
Bunheads -- Amy Sherman Palladino's newest show -- not as good as Gilmore Girls, but still entertaining
Miss Potter -- awfully twee, but charming and full of beautiful photography of the English countryside
looking forward to Lifeline Theatre's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice

So many gorgeous plants in your yard! Do I see a giant hosta?
I loe bunheads, I remember Gilmore Girls getting off to a slow start, and the second episode is doing pretty well.
Lovely garden! Salami and salad make me think of anti-pasta in the North East! Your crocheted baby blanket looks like it was made to go with your bedspread!
Your garden is beautiful! And I am very jealous of that spectacular front porch. I haven't watched Bunheads yet ... but maybe I should? It would certainly keep me out of the heat ...
Sounds like you've found some good coping methods! My garden is a little wilty from the heatwave; it's hard to keep up with the watering. Hope yours has fully recovered.
Did the heat break for you? Such a relief when it did here earlier this week... Sounds like you've been keeping busy. :)
we live in chicago too!!!
