~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Rosie and Pippo are gone.

This makes my house very... quiet.

I'm working on it...

Habou made me an herb garden by the door, and it's so pretty.

In other news, I had to buy basil plants on Tuesday, which I regard as a fail. But acquiring herb seeds, much less planting them, didn't happen this spring. In my defense, that which I did plant, seedwise, got eaten up by chickens. So it was two steps forward, one back around here in the garden. But the important thing is that there is basil, however lamely come by. And other things are finally growing, which is sort of a miracle. But then, a garden always is!

I truly love just relaxing on the deck after dinner as dusk settles, enjoying each other, even as the mosquitoes try to chase us away.

I'm enjoying just going around the house, little by little, tidying up. But some things don't get put away.
