Summer List

Thanks to Little Monsters and Mommies for the inspiration.  It's summer for real after the long cold spring.  Summer in Providence feels so crisp.  Baltimore would be like a warm damp sleeping bag, but here it's all puffy clouds and cool breezes, and only occasionally a moist, salty breeze that makes me remember we are the Ocean State.

LB and I were on our way back from the park when we ran into a neighbor who asked me to water his garden for a week in exchange for an produce we can harvest.  I said yes.  I don't know his name and I don't think he knows mine.  That's New England.

The List

Strawberry Shortcake Cake
Maine
Maine again
plant window boxes
swim at least once a week  (in progress)
Go to Pride [fail]

Currently I'm following the doctrinal/cultural conflict within the LDS Church.  This thread on FMH is very sad.

  2. It would be great it we could turn this into a regular thing-I do love free vegetables!
