Gathering and Fresh Air

I love this time of year: summer is winding down, garden produce is bountiful, and every now and then, when a cooler day blows through, you can start to feel autumn; the real treat being autumn's arrival.

On our kitchen table, six sunflowers, which I picked from a field behind our house, are sitting in four white vases. 

For supper tonight, we chowed on cherry and yellow pear tomatoes from our garden and a basil (also from our garden) pesto Nate and I made this morning.  It was delicious!

Our patio sliding screen door had developed a few holes over the past year, and I'd been putting packing tape over them temporarily (it looked hideous.)  This weekend, we channeled our inner weekend warriors and purchased fiberglass screen cloth, spline rolling tool and vinyl spline. Andy and I tag teamed it- he removed the door, I replaced the screen, he reinstalled the door. Having lots of fresh, late evening air drift through the open screen was really, really nice.

Making it a good week.
