May. 2nd, 2007 07:21 pmI really enjoyed Libkitty's visit. It was the best of all worlds - a kick in the butt to work on the house and yard, fun roommate teamwork cooking and baking for the brunch, and good company trekking to the Stinson Beach cottage and the usual hanging out the beach house entails. (Most of the furniture was replaced after Jan. 1 '06 flood, and it's nice stuff. FAB new bed and couch. The town is always fun and hearing the ocean? priceless) We drove around West Marin, visting my sister's house, Libkitty's childhood home, and the small local library that I'd always intended to stop and see, but didn't, until then.
Brunch was great. I have to write down the receipe. That's the best frittata I've ever made. Katerian, Freya, Frida and I had a blast walking around San Rafael. Good food, good exercise, good company, good conversation. Fun! I think this will be a summer of more social stuff at my house. I' m quite pleased with the house and yard lately, even though my house to-do list is still quite long.
In my veggie garden - only tomatoes have survived. Peas, bean, and cukes have all been consumed down to stems. It's a postage-stamp-sized veg garden. I want climbing peas or beans, but don't have the oomph to fight whatever it is that's eating everything (probably snails; the ingrates).
It's official - we have coyotes. The county sent a form letter full of advice on vexing them but coexisting, too. They want me to take up my constant outdoor waterbowls. I've had them out for "my" skunks and opposums since forever... But I don't want either cat to be eaten.
