Sunday & Seed Thieving 22.10.

Yesterday was a busy day.

Started the beautiful day of by walking to star market to get some groceries. The new section looks so nice! I can’t wait for the entire remodel to be done.



Unpacked more kitchen items from the garage. The black cart fits in perfectly! Unfortunately, I think I remember our coffee pot breaking during packing up our old house. Our new tea kettle matches the plates nicely.



We let Sadie and Maple explore the awesome that is the front porch. They actually hung out with Tom Cat without any cat fights. Maple hissed at him every now and then, but nothing too threatening.



After finding those blue chairs, I didn’t see much use for our mini green couch and chair in our house. We took them up to the record store to make a comfy seating area. In exchange, we brought home our dining room table which was previously used as a counter in our old store. It’ll be nice to actually have a table to sit at to eat dinner. The knife (literally) in the road actually has the same design as one from a set of silverware we have. At the mill there were tons of chalk drawings. I took a pic of my favorite. I’m’ guessing it’s a frog.



For a while now Andy and I have wanted a willow tree. Since we had an $80 gift card to Lowe’s and his dad’s truck for the day, now was the time. The tree was only $15 and he’ll look lovely once his branches are a bit more ‘weepy.’ Maple says hello from the top of the stairs.


In our front yard there are two varieties of 4 o’clocks growing: pink and yellow. Sometimes they mix and there’s an orange bud poking out. However, I’ve been lusting after white 4 o’clocks to start off my Moon Garden…which will be nestled somewhere in our backyard. I’ve got a list of white fragrant flowers that bloom only when the sun goes down, and number one is 4 o’clocks. Until now, I had no luck finding them in white. One evening Andy and I were walking by Old Towne Coffee Shop and instantly I smelled their fragrance. Sure enough, sitting pretty, were bushels of them! Last night Andy and I returned to shake a few seeds so we can start our own. Is that illegal, you think?

Olde Towne Coffee gets their coffee from where I work! The woman that owns it was just down here a few weeks ago because there is a second store in the works.. but crazy things keep happening that push it back… but that’s another story!

whoa really?! that’s awesome they are trying to get another shop. i think some people in town were thinking the opposite…maybe shutting down…because their hours were cut back.

monkeyswitch 23.10.

nope.. from my perspective, they’re as strong as ever! Perhaps they’re cutting back to help save for the new place

I thought there was already a second one in the lobby of some building downtown (bank building?). Is this the second shop you’re talking about?

monkeyswitch 23.10.

yes, but it’s not open yet..

i can’t help but notice your spice “rack” and wonder if, you too, are addicted to alton brown?
