Like making a last-minute dress for a wedding this weekend... yes, I succumbed to internal pressure and am putting the finishing touches on my dress tonight. I'll have a full write-up sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Last weekend was very hot for Seattle (I hesitate to say the temperature because it's been so much hotter everywhere else). Nathan and I braved the heat and walked to brunch with his parents and my sister-in-law and encountered all kinds of delightful things, like this Calder sculpture...
...and these hanging planters along the train tracks! If you look really closely, you can see that there's a black irrigation hose next to the rope that the planters are hanging on. A small water tank is at the end of the hose, stashed up in a tree.
In other garden news, we ended up making rice bowls with some of our non-lettuce. The green onions, kale chips and pickled carrots are all from our garden. Our broccoli has been a bust (the plants are gigantic but none of them has even shown a hint of floret), but just looking at my dinner last night was enough to feel like a Gardening Success.
Happy Friday!
That dress looks gorgeous, and you have photographed it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongrats on the garden, that rice bowl looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm bursting with pride (and vegetables).
DeleteWhat a great week in photos. You have every reason to be proud of your garden! I can't wait to see the finished dress, the material looks awesome.
