first days of summer


It's been a smooth transition into summer.  Not having to go through the nightmare of moving out helps--while everyone scrambled to clean their apartments and pack their lives up into duffle bags, I just had some sun tea on my stoop.

Sun Tea
2 quarts water
tea bags (black tea works best)
OR
chopped/shredded ginger
and let the pitcher sit in the sun to steep

Mel is working at the CC farm this summer, and has already started the job.  Yesterday, I helped her bring tomatoes and basil from the greenhouse to the farm.  Hopefully I'll have a free moment today when I can go down there and help out in exchange for some eggs.




I went on a hike yesterday with Mel, Grace, Roz, and Ian to Section 16.  We took our sweet time hiking up, pausing to touch and smell things on the trail--a casual nature walk if you will.  We got back to campus around 9 PM and had dinner around 10--I love summer late night dinners!  It means that you've taken full advantage of all the sunlight.  We made fajitas with homemade flour tortillas, shredded cabbage and carrots, chicken, peppers, avocado, and onion.  Delicious!


Corinne left for India this morning.  She's been sick the past few days and only packed this morning.  Mel and I made her a raw vegan cake, which is basically a massive Lara Bar.

Tonight, we are planning to go to Front Range Barbeque for dinner.  They have the best brisket in town and the band Paper Bird is playing.

HERE'S TO SUMMER!
