Sitting on the front porch with The New York Times, chocolate-banana-keffir smoothie and whole wheat toast slathered in butter and homemade raspberry jam. Does it get any better? I think not....
Made the raspberry jam with Mom last week. I swear, it's like little jars of gold.
Making some progress on the house, though some days it doesn't feel like it. I feel like I've been painting trim for days and it's still not done. Maybe I'm just really slow? I think I finally finished the bay window (please oh please) - I guess we'll see tomorrow when I take the tape off. Ty is working on getting paint splatters off some of the exterior brick - real pain-in-the-ass-type job. The swing is finished - just needs to be hung. Will post a photo when that happens.
My oven is still not working (and the repairman who was supposed to come look at it today didn't) so this makes me feel like I should be using this time to practice non-baking-but-still-loaded-with-sugar-and-fat type items. Working on a batch of vanilla bean ice cream right now......we'll see how it goes.

I agree... it doesn't get any better than butter and jam!
Yum...
i just dreamed that desmond and i strolled up to your front porch and joined you for that breakfast. i want to be neighbors. i didn't know your oven broke. that's too bad. at least in the summer you don't really want to cook much anyway. besides, you have a backyard and a grill!! jealous, jealous, jealous.
it might be slow, but I'm sure it will look fabu... keep the heart!
