Is that a large hole in the floor I spy behind Husband (processing honey)? Also, can I get the recipe for that delicious sauce stuff you made? The tomato-y-chilli-garlic-y one?
tara - it is (dug for pipes for the new kitchen). that sauce is called mojo and it's just 3 red peppers (or 2 red and a yellow), 2-3 cloves of garlic, a bit of paprika, salt and olive oil - all blitzed up in a food processor (or blender). sometimes i throw in a few herbs to give it a bit of green (parsley, chives, thyme are good). you can put a chili in to make it spicy if you want.
paula - it really was!
lynne - i am crazy for gibson at the moment, tho' his more recent stuff - i couldn't get into neuromancer. oddly enough.
molly - that's a new blogger thing and has to do with my url - i'm sure she's actually blogger.com in reality.
eggdipdip - it was indeed. we have to enjoy the sunshine while we can around here! :-)
1) I love the pictures, especially the one of the tractor in the field -- what gorgeous colors. 2) Boy, your husband is a handsome guy. 3) What is the lifting device for?
Visit my blog in the next few days and tell me about your feet. Yep. Your feet.

one little kitten went WAY too far up a tree and nearly gave me a heart attack.

husband convinced the child to try out his lifting device.

we had gazpacho for dinner. and homemade bread toasted in the oven with mushrooms on top.

sabin put avocado on hers and used the gazpacho as a garnish.

I'd never noticed before that Murrmurrs' URL is .dk? Is that weird?
Sabin is just looking SO gorgeous this summer.
And related, seems Far is greying at the same rate as Charl - I love it, I tease him that he's becoming the 'older man' I always perved about ;-)
