A few odds and ends from the past few days just to catch up on what life's been like around here recently...


It's been great to have a steady supply of cut flowers from the garden this year.


More often than not I can scrounge up some fresh produce from the garden for dinner.




I've been trying to make occasional from-scratch quick and yeast breads as the weather cools and a hot oven is once again welcome in the kitchen. This one last week was a whole wheat yeast dough rolled up with apples snagged from a neighbor's tree over the sidewalk, some chopped walnuts, raisins, butter, brown sugar and applepie spice.


This rather fierce-looking critter was perched on some swiss chard in the garden.


Valet bike parking!

Pat and I bicycled to the Sustainable Living Fair north of town on Saturday. Fort Collins is about as 'green' a town as one could find anywhere.
