Garlic and Paint

Melissa harvested all the garlic scapes the other day; these are the buds of the garlic flower, and if you pull them off at just the right time it helps the garlic bulbs grow bigger. And, they taste great sautéed! We ate them every night for a week.

And we've started in on prepping the windows to be painted the exciting color we've picked out. These wooden windows were given to us by friends who were remodeling, so we built our house with these windows in mind - so they'll fit. Melissa started enjoying the belt sanding work, so I wasn't going to stop her.
