-After a few days of regular thundershowers and downpours we've had a few rain free days. While the days haven't been quite as sunny or warm as I expected, they've nonetheless been a welcome change of pace. Actually, aside from the fact that they're not quite as sunny as I'd like they've been almost perfect (not to windy or hot or humid).
-Today we went to an open house/jazz concert that was held down the street from where we live. Not only did the open house allow us to see one of the units in a row-house complex we'd been contemplating when we were in the housing market, we got to hear the jazz band while were outside working in our yard. The only bummer was that by the time I was finally ready to go the jazz band had finished their show and was packing up. I guess this will teach me to be a bit prompter next time I was to see a free outside show.
-The regular pea pod stir-frys we've been having with our backyard-grown pea pods have been really wonderful. I think that next year we'll have to consider doubling the portion of our garden we devote to peas.
-Our very own sweet little Marie has been really misbehaving the past few days. It's been a real bummer following her around just to clean up her messes. We're hoping that now that we've switched her back to the kitty litter she'd been using for her first few months with us that she'll calm down (but that may be too hopeful).
-As of this week the our house is now completely repainted. The body of the house is purple and the trip is a cream colour. We both are quite please with the outcome.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the colour change seems to be attracting a fair bit of attention. Most drivers seem unable to drive by without at least slowing, some even come to a complete stop. Pedestrians, as you might have guessed, are also frequently stopping to look at our newly purple house. I get the impression that the people of Regina aren't quite used to houses being painted purple.
-I guess it's time for me to get back to dinner. Hopefully it hasn't burned in my absence.
