Cacophony

Despite it being May and things should be more quiet, that does not seem to be. Thurs Al and I worked on getting everything in the maxsold auction for Rustle ready to go and it will post on Monday. It was a crazy flurry of push. The pick up is June 2 and we still have a lot to do to be organized for that.

Yesterday, I worked on laundry - 3 loads hung out to dry and ironing. Still have lots more to do. Today I spent most of the day at Rustle. Good community. Picked up some chicken scallopini at the new Grocery Basket store. It was so easy to cook. Matched it with vegetable samosas and cucumber. The samosas were spicier than I expected. I haven't planned the dinner for tomorrow but luckily nothing seems to be closed tomorrow!

One morning, I woke at the crack of dawn and the birds were singing all over- it was a cacophony of bird song. I managed to get back to sleep, but then when I woke up again all was quiet. I missed the cacophony.

When I take lunch at work I have been taking the Earl st walk to the water and taken the waterfront trail to run my errands.

 the sandbags don't seem to have worked

 you can see the waterline is higher because of where the moss (or whatever) on the rocks is

 ducks and geese are happy!

 the waterfront is in pretty good shape but there are many areas that are in worse shape.
This was a meal earlier in the week- spiced steak fajita salad

 the salad was romaine with sour cream and lime- easy to make salad!

 with veggies

 and steak

 homemade tortilla chips

 with cheese

It was very good!
