Where Did the Weekend Go?

Hal and I ate at a Hawaiian restaurant on Sunday morning. My little capsule review is here.

I also did a little bit of faffing about with the new D60 I bought for the office. (No really, I'm familiarizing myself with equipment. It's not just playing, you know.) More about that later.

Totally failed to buy a barbecue grill though. Ye gods what those things cost for a nice one.

Where the Weekend Went: Experiments

One of the things I do like about the Kent Saturday Farmer's Market is the ability to pick up an enormous bouquet of flowers and have enough to spread out between two, or sometimes three vases, so I can have one in the living room, and another by my desk. We stopped by the market after breakfast on Saturday, and in the afternoon I spent a bit of time taking pictures around the house and yard with the D60, getting used to different settings and so forth. I'm not remotely taking full advantage of the full manual mode yet. Baby steps, I figure.

Events in the Garden

Things are beginning to ripen in the garden. The pears in the tree by the bedroom, for instance.
