ohkimma tagged me, so here are 6 things that made me happy today:

1. My parents picked up some green peanuts from Garden Cove to boil (my dad is obsessed) and we took a handful so we can plant them! I’ve never even thought of growing peanuts, but hey…why not! I’m actually not a fan of nuts (aside from Andy’s lol lol lol) but I do enjoy peanuts.

2. The first corn of the season! I can’t wait to shuck it, butter it, and grill it…maybe with a juicy steak tomorrow night. mmmm.

3. Our very first batch of sun tea! We go through SO much Milo’s that it’s about time we started making it ourselves. Now just gotta get just the right amount of “sweet” to it to compare to Milo’s.

4. Sadie. She loves going outside in the backyard any chance she gets. We usually comply until she wanders past our fence and into the neighbor’s yard…then she gets “grounded” for a day. She’s getting a lot better with staying within our fence. I normally wouldn’t mind if she roamed around past our property, but we live on a busy street, and I hate to think about what could happen…

5. Romaine Lettuce seeds. I’ve been gathering seeds like a mad woman to prep for next year. I can’t wait to display them in jars on the kitchen shelves.

6. Silver Bowl Series: July 18th Harvest. I’m glad this project is coming together so quickly. Although the past few harvests have been very similar, it’ll be neat in five years (or so) to look back and see how much we’ve gathered along the way.

….and I’m gonna throw in one more

7. Our tub’s soon-to-be-hooked-up-and-working faucet. It took me a while to finally decide on one cause I really wanted the cross knobs. And when I came across the ebay listing that had this faucet, a shower, the shower surround, AND drain, I couldn’t pass it up. Now just gotta make up my mind on the bathroom arrangement so we can enjoy a soak in the tub together with a glass of wine…and Iron and Wine…and ahem 🙂
