A few weekends ago we planted the garden. Or... in reality, that should read, 'Karen and Kim planted the garden... Jeff and Jon played catch". It's coming along alright... we're just working on getting the watering schedule right. It's packed this year. Tomatoes, Cukes, Radishes, Carrots, Peas, Beans, Red Peppers, Sage, Oregano, Kale, Chives, Lettuce... seriously the makings of several glorious dinners. Here's Kar in her kingdom:
On top of the garden, there's been a lot of catch. Jeff and I are big ball fans, so at some point on most saturdays we're out in the back yard having a catch. Is there anything as relaxing and enjoyable as having a catch with a good friend? I mean, it's second-nature, so it's great for conversation. And every now and then, you just put a little extra mustard on a toss to keep the other guy honest.
Add in lots of walks. Our new thing is to subway down to Pape and then walk from there to the downtown core. You get to go through greektown and all the nice restaurants and patios, and then over the bridge at the Don Valley. It's really an incredible view, actually, to stand on the bridge and look over the valley and see the city rising up over the treetops.
So here's to a great summer coming up. Life's good.
