When Josh asked me to move to Portland, he promised me a new house as delightful as my Auburn Avenue apartment. Since we’ve moved in to our yellow house, we’ve been working hard on growing some food in the yard. Things are starting to come around. But Josh really made good on his promise today, when the first food from the yard came into the house! While the days of nonstop rain were good for the garden, I was starting to worry we’d seen the last of the cerulean summer skies for good. But today we got another one, along with the first fresh figs from the fig tree in our yard. We should have them daily, and we will be busy trying to figure out how to cook with them and dry them. I hope hope hope they last the two weeks until Mom, Dad, and Whitney come to visit… it’s like an instant passport to Sicily right in the yard!
