this was not at all what the day looked like or felt like. i've just had this photo on the desktop for weeks waiting to be posted. i took it during the first week of june when the roses were at their peak. it's always been a favorite time of year for me when the strawberries are ripe and the roses are blooming . . anyway, today was the complete opposite: grey, rainy and chilly! we were supposed to have a friend come visit in the afternoon, but her knees were hurting much too much and she couldn't do our stairs. i'm hoping all will work out for next week with her instead. in the evening we had our friend clyde come over, with his friend beverly.
it felt so great to have morgana pitch in with food preparations without me saying anything. i've missed this very much. she has always seemed to enjoy helping with preparing the house for company. here she's setting the eggs to boil for a lunchtime meal of deviled eggs.
chanda then pitched in with the vacuuming . . and greg straightened up . . korrina was already at work.
peeling the eggs and making faces for the camera . .
in a dozen eggs they found five that had double yolks! what does that mean?
we had pasta and chard for dinner with our friends (the chard was from a local farmer at the green market . . i was so impressed with the price and the quality of the greens: four dollars for a huge bunch). morgana shared her book about austria and we enjoyed seeing a picture of the artwork clyde's friend beverly does, and several pics of her beautiful garden in oakland, california.
