* I can finally understand the appeal of lawns. Not here, of course, because we live in High Desert and lawns are a foolish waste of water, but we're having an unseasonably cool & wet summer so far this year, and the lawns in our neighborhood are just beautiful.
I took these pictures from our upstairs bathroom window
(proving to the world how filthy our windows are) just to prove that there was a time that everyone's lawns looked nice. Look for the brown water-starved lawn pictures in August.* It's easier to be consistent about trying a new recipe every week when you're not spending your weekends dehydrating beans.
* If I hadn't purchased extra yarn (and thereby extending MY spending ban by 8 days), this would be as far as I would ever have gotten on the shawl:
