greg's much more methodical than i in terms of our lawn mowing styles.
i knew i would eventually have to pull the stove out and clean along the sides, as i had noticed during our first visit after the tenants had left, that a lot of food was stuck in the cracks. unfortunately, since i had procrastinated, summertime ants found the stash and beat me to it. so i not only had food to clean, but ants to . . get rid of, to put it gently. lesson learned: clean food immediately before the ants arrive and have to be decimated.
the town was so crowded with the summertime weekend visitors that we decided to cook for ourselves, and stopped for supplies at the local health food store (which, thankfully, wasn't too busy).
breakfast this morning: greg is finishing his saturday night ice cream treat!
yellow blooms on the dusty miller plants . .
when will we finally leave the refrigerator on with food inside?
laundry, again!
all the towels used during the stove cleaning (i used a LOT of soapy water).
all packed and ready to head back to the city . .
with a stop by the sea for a photo . . today the seaside was breezy and the air was cool, though the sun was very hot.
home again, home again, jiggity jigg.
(it's raining as i write this, with that lovely rainy, earthy aroma floating in through the windows.)
