A friend came to dinner a couple of weeks ago and left some small packages of cheese and a bottle of wine. The wine is for a special occasion, but the cheese went onto an open face sandwich (toasted then cheese melted under the oven broiler).

The kitchen is clear after lots of work this weekend (canning, freezing, cooking for the week), and the yard is looking pretty good. I opened a trunk to pull out a couple of items for eBay, but they haven't been listed yet. I was enjoying myself too much out in the garden. I brought some finished compost to the front for the fall crops and to improve a couple of beds, then I hauled a lot of weeds and garden trimmings to the back to drop on this year's compost pile. I'll have to set up a sprinkler on top of it so that stack (getting kind of tall by this time of the summer) can start heating up to break down.
