Bunny Eats on Yelp

I've started to actively write reviews on Yelp. It's quite fun and helps me keep track of my favorite eats.

I suck

I know, posts have been scarce.

Between my work and Badge's, life has been busy. Too much work and not enough play. BUT, never fear. Travel is on the horizon, which means there will be plenty to blog about.

Next week, I'll be in the UK again for work. My dept had a reorg, so my new boss is there which should be interesting. Another result of the reorg is that Busy Mama will be joining my new team. Whoo hoo! Exciting stuff. Then the week of Labor day, I'm going to Portland to help Monkey move into her new digs. We'll be exploring the city (aka eating our way through the city) and furniture shopping. Badge will be joining us the following weekend and then we'll fly back together. Can't wait.

Lastly, we've scheduled a trip to NY at the end of Oct. Ah the city, how I've missed you.

Garden Update

Alright, Saturdays = garden update.

The little champagne grapes are ripening. I need to keep watch over them so they don't get overrun with ants like one of the bunches from last year.


The brandywine tomato is fattening up nicely. The stem looked flimsy so I propped it up using some fishing wire.


To my surprise, another tomato emerged last week.


And when I went out to check this morning, I found three more tiny buds! That's 5 in total so far. Hallelujah.


The rest of the garden is looking good (except the zucchini and cucumbers all died off for some reason...bad soil?) The stargazer lilies are in bloom which are quite lovely. Here's a closeup using my new 60mm macro lens.


Several months ago my coworker gave me a small pot of mini roses. She had them as centerpieces and then giveaways at her wedding. For a while I watered it without realizing there was an inner bowl without an holes for drainage. Subsequently, the poor plant was drowning. Since then I've been nursing it back to health and I'm happy to report it's pleased again. See first bloom below.


And of course I end with the gratuitous cat picture.

Recording

Over the past few months, Badge has been recording with his band. He's got 10 awesome songs that are almost ready to debut. Can't wait for everyone to hear the finished product.

Here are some shots I took when I dropped by the studio one Saturday.
