While I haven't been busy here, Tim and I have found time for lots of home improvement projects. We've been hard at work on the yard planting veggies, tending citrus, weeding flower beds. We pretty much have things down to a relatively quick daily maintenance. Two sets of hands have made things so much easier. While there are many things we want to do outside, a new grill popped to the top of the list after Tim accidentally shattered the window in our ancient grill while putting out the Great Grill Fire of 2009.
The grill sat lonely and unused for over a month while we went searching for a new one. After 6-7 trips to various stores and countless hours comparing grills online, we finally bought one this past weekend. It took the entire Rays v. Mets game to put together (rain delay included.) It's really quite pretty.
We had my parents over for Father's Day and grilled pork roast, asparagus, and fresh garden tomatoes. The grill performed flawlessly, and Tim is now back to planning dinners outside -- thank goodness. With this horrible heat wave, it seems hot enough to cook outside without the benefit of a grill!
Anyhow, I have lots more projects to share and several ideas in the works for summer sewing. But first up is a refresh of the blog -- if I can figure out how to put up a new banner. Here's to free time!
