When we moved into this house, we didn't have a lawn mower. We had sold our last one when we moved out a few years ago, and we saw a bunch on Craigslist, but were so busy with moving that we decided to wait until things quieted down to get one. Then a week later, our lawn really needed to be mowed and there were no low priced lawn mowers to be found anywhere. So we borrowed one from Aaron's dad. It worked well, but it was only on loan and it has a huge hole in the side of it that spews oil out. So we kept looking, and found one from a guy in Albany (who happened to be Aaron's friend's dad, small world) that seemed ok. But it wasn't strong enough for our huge lawn. We happened upon a garage sale today that had a lawn mower (for $5 no less), but we decided we didn't want to mess with trying to sell the other one. So we went home and Aaron was moving the lawn, and got frustrated with our mower. We went back to the house to see if she still had the other one and she did, and it is better than the one we got for $35. This turned into a really long boring story, when really I just thought this was funny:
One will go back to Aaron's parents and the other will be sold.
Our new garden space:
So far it has onions, leeks, carrots, beets, potatoes, corn, eggplant and tomatoes. We have a little over twice this much room in the backyard too, I'm still waiting for my seedlings to get big enough to transplant, I got them started a little late.
We had a wonderful summer dinner: the best bbq'd chicken ever, rice and potato salad.
There were two shriveling nectarines on the counter. I was about to toss them in compost when Aaron said, mini crisps! So mini nectarine crisps we had. Sorry these pictures are blurry, I couldn't find my other camera, and I didn't mess with any settings on the other.
Summer is here!
