Whatta week … I was gonna say more like 9 days since I last posted but it’s really only been a week.<\/p>\n

The political news is crazy, the weather is changeable, and I haven’t been doing very well at photographing food. Or at any of my retirement re-organization projects. Or any of my more vague creative projects.<\/p>\n

I feel like all I’ve been doing is going to my volunteer jobs and sopping up the basement. Saturday and Sunday a week ago there were thunderstorms, enough that I had to sop, although we got rainbows on Sunday night. I’m using one for my iPhone wallpaper now. And I had to sop Sunday morning, but not Sunday night. Then the following Monday night I had to sop again<\/em>. I got a bit of a break until this morning (Tuesday, July 23) when at first it seemed like it had settled into a quiet all day rain, then it started thundering and pouring. I had to get out the shop vac; the last times I’d made do with a mop and towels.<\/p>\n

And since I’m running out of time tonight, I’m going to fill in the pictures for now with not a lot of text, and maybe more later.<\/p>\n

I had a lot of bread that I made into croutons<\/a>, that I used in chicken zucchini casserole, and cherry salad<\/a>, and the last in panzanella.<\/p><\/div>\n

Oatmeal cookies, made with oats from the bulk aisle at the co-op that just did not get soft enough. I ground the oats up for bread and it’s Bob’s Red Mill for me now. Yes, I know it comes in a plastic bag, ziploc no less. I will use it to pack cookies in when I ship the boxes in December<\/p><\/div>\n

Summer fruit crisp, 2 nectarines, a plum, and a few handfuls each of blueberries and cherries, also with those hard oats, but ground<\/p><\/div>\n

We went for a long walk on Friday, 8 miles, and saw cranes crossing the street with their offspring<\/p>\n\n\t\t
