Yesterday, Aveline received a great little package in the mail from her great-great uncle and aunt back in Michigan. (Thank you!) I think it’s safe to say she’s smitten!

30 Day Photo Challenge – Day 4 – Clouds
This was an interesting frame to capture, because the Florida afternoon sunlight is ridiculously bright today. I couldn’t see anything on my digital screen, and facing into the sun meant I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder, either. I took a series of blind shots — some using a polarizing lens filter and some without. I ended up selecting this one, shot with the polarizing filter, which I really love. It has an almost film-like feel to it, don’t you think? Ah, the days of analog. I think I’d like to start shooting with film again.

30 Day June Photo Challenge
I was browsing Pinterest this morning and saw that Natalie had pinned a 30 Day Photo Challenge from A Feathered Nest. I’d never read that blog before, but I popped over to see what it was all about. Anyone want to join me? (If you’re going to tweet your photos, use the hashtag #30DayPhoto)

Happy Memorial Day!
I hope you’re all enjoying the wonderful three-day weekend! (UK readers, do you get a Bank Holiday?) Here’s Aveline earlier today, during her first-ever outdoor picnic.
The weather turned out to be lovely, despite the intriguing forecast this morning.
And now, we’re all snuggled together on the couch for a little TV before bed.
This Weekend’s Farmers’ Market Bounty
We brought $10 to the farmers’ market on Saturday morning, and came away with white onions, new red potatoes, kiwis, plum tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, japaleño, poblano and cubanelle peppers. The bonus for me was James Taylor music playing from a vendor’s truck parked near the produce tent.
The first thing I made after coming home was garlicky eggs scrambled in olive oil with peppers, onions, tomatoes, my favourite vegan cheese, black pepper and sea salt. Oh, did the kitchen ever smell amazing!
(After I tweeted that I was chopping the jalapenos to freeze, some of you were wondering why. They were $1.50 for a whole basket — about fifteen peppers — and I knew we’d never eat that many in a week. Peppers freeze really well, so I washed, diced, and froze them. I did the same with the huge white onion I bought. It’s great to have them pre-chopped and on-hand for cooking!)
