thistlebear: March 2015

Monday, March 30, 2015. Martha and Me - March. Was quite simple, even though the cake itself seems rather exotic. You can also find it here. I don't remember. But it works, if you want to give it a try sometime. Making the caramel was my favorite part. I'd only done this once or twice before and was a little fearful. It was fine, though, and once poured into the cake pan, it hardened almost immediately and looked really pretty too, glassy and dark-amber colored. Saturday, March 28, 2015. I decided to hav...

Living and blogging on the shores of the Salish Sea. August 7, 2015. Yesterday was a Jonah day–in the one-thing-went-wrong-after-another sense–but in spite of it, we hopped a ferry to Seattle and did the aquarium. It was Mimi’s first trip on a boat, and she loved it. Blogging elsewhere for now →. 3 thoughts on “ The Big City. August 7, 2015 at 7:42 pm. Oh, what a lovely day! How far do you live from Seattle? August 7, 2015 at 7:59 pm. October 9, 2015 at 2:31 am.

Living and blogging on the shores of the Salish Sea. July 5, 2015. Hi, it’s me again. The above is–ha ha– not. Our new house. It’s the nearby estate, which was modeled from English estates the builder had visited and admired. This: we have a real Hall. You enter the house at ground level, into a real room-sized room with a slate floor, two large coat closets, and plenty of room for chairs and demilune and umbrella stand and boot trays. Can you imagine? I’m going to paint the walls dramatic deep blu...

Living and blogging on the shores of the Salish Sea. July 2, 2015. How much can we get rid of? How can we get rid of it? So we bought it. Without looking at the crawlspace or attic. Without tasting the water. Without flushing the toilets or driving by at different times of day to see what the traffic is like. It was a leap of faith. Just like everything else in life. Less than two weeks until all our stuff is put on a truck and taken somewhere out of our control. We will be Out There for my birthday.

Living and blogging on the shores of the Salish Sea. July 18, 2015. On Thursday we were scheduled to stop for the night in Spokane. We got to Spokane before 2pm. “Let’s keep going! 8221; we said … and so we rolled into our own driveway around 9pm that evening, having crossed two major mountain ranges, three states, and one enormous Seattle rush-hour traffic jam. It all needs a lot of polish and love. The previous owners obviously loved. Rough as the place is, I still like it here. Work zone →. Your new h...

Living and blogging on the shores of the Salish Sea. July 21, 2015. We’re hitting the painting hard to get it done before the new carpet is installed. We’re hitting the carpet installers hard to get them in before the furniture arrives. I’m gratified by how much difference a coat of paint makes. All my own colors. No wall color is as odious as the color the previous owner picked out, you know . . ? Getting there →. One thought on “ Work zone. July 21, 2015 at 8:15 pm. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Finding the Joy in Everyday Life. July 1, 2015. I love all the delicious, fresh fruits and veggies available this time of year. Well, let’s face it, I love good food any time of year. The cherries – so firm and sweet. And my new cherry pitter has been put to work everyday. I love the way the melons are so delicious, crisp, sweet and refreshing this time of year. These same fruits take on a bland almost cardboard taste when you purchase them over the winter. With the holiday weekend coming up, I know you&...
