It's been a very busy week here...

I drove down to southern NM to get a friend... and she is going to visit for awhile.
And so... we have been putzing around the house for a couple of days. We fixed up a few more pots of plants for the patio out front... raked the sand-pit that is my yard (just the front so far)... and yesterday... we planted veggie boxes full of peppers and tomatoes... and planted a gorgeous ELM tree that I have named Elroy. He is stunning.

Along the way, there has been lots of coffee... tea... toffee... fresh bread and fruit... and today I am making roasted chicken with fresh rosemary from the herb garden. Pictures... (no doubt) ... will be forthcoming :)
