It’s 4:25 on a Friday afternoon, and I’ve been working on NEPS stuff for most of the day.
Ron left for Jaffrey a little before noon. We went to the Osterville Farmers Market first so he could load up on treats. Altogether, he brought fig balsamic vinegar, olive oil, 2 loaves of Finnish bread, pasta sauce and a lobster bisque starter, plus tomatoes and a cuke from the garden.
I bought some basil, pasta sauce and clam chowder starter for us. Put the garlic from earlier this month (?) in the freezer and stuck the basil in water with a plastic bag over it.
With Ron gone, I set up the laptop in the kitchen and have been enjoying the fresh air. The last two days have been glorious. You can have your “late July”, I’ll take mid-August as the best time of the summer, at least for this year.
