Sorry again for lite blogging. If it’s not days of house-project work, it’s a day of very busy “rest.”<\/p>\n

Today Furrydoc and I traveled out of town for an afternoon at farmers markets, bulk-food stores, and veggie vendors. It doesn’t make for the most compelling blogging, but it does make for a pleasant interlude.<\/p>\n

The best of it was a little coffee house where we had an unusual lunch. We each ordered a grilled chicken-apricot sandwich. Yes, chicken-apricot. Which I already knew to be a great combo. But on a sandwich? Better, that wasn’t the only surprising combination between those slabs of crispy bread.<\/p>\n

The sandwiches also included fresh basil, provolone cheese, and paper-thin slices of raw purple onion. Sounds weird; tasted glorious. A pleasant revelation in every bite.<\/p>\n

To go with them we had big cups of Earl Grey tea with lavender, vanilla, and frothy steamed milk. Mmmmm. Perfect for a rainy day — which this was. Between where we parked and the coffee house we had to shelter in the doorway of a bike shop as the cold drops pelted down. (So much for our latest mini-summer.)<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, if summer returns, I’ll finish laying the block for that patio<\/a>. And then, I suspect, it’s back to more frequent and more meaty blogging for a while.<\/p>\n

But today I can say no aching back for me.<\/p>\n

And even though days like this don’t make exciting blogitude, I hope you all get to enjoy whatever your equivalent of these simple pleasures might be.<\/p>\n
