This afternoon, we snipped oregano, thyme and chives from our garden, harvested ten more grape tomatoes from the seemingly unkillable tomato plant, and picked one big tomato from the other plant.  We picked some butter lettuce, also, but I had let it get out of hand and it’s bitter.  The sweet potato from the cupboard is now almost ten inches high, and there are tiny jalepenos on the pepper plants.

PC finished a big painting project in the garage, and spent the late afternoon putting things back to order and restoring the man-cave.  Tomorrow, we’re picking out paint color for the house trim, and next week, he’s painting the carport ceiling and the ceiling of the porch, as well as the porch posts, all white.  The window trim and the wooden screen doors on the house and garage, as well as the big garage door, will be painted whatever darker color we agree on.  I’m lobbying for a dark, dark bluish grey.  We’ll see. 

Rabbit’s room has stayed relatively orderly for over a week now, thanks to the basement play room.  All of her art supplies are down there, as well as 90% of her toys.   This afternoon while PC grilled chicken outside, Rabbit drew cheesecake and witches on the patio with sidewalk chalk. 

I scored a great deal on clothes this past weekend, and bought an unprecedented FOUR PAIRS of capri pants in one outing, and have been enjoying the novelty of wearing a new pair of pants four days in a row. 

PC started reading Lonesome Dove last night and is already on page 195.  He loves it so far, which makes me happy.
