Receta Lemon and Parsley Soup
Note: Apparently I’ve been preoccupied restoring my hard drive and trimming the dogs belly hair.
I wrote this on Monday, as usual, and, I can only assume, hit ‘Save Draft’ instead of ‘Publish’.
Stupid busy woman……
I moved my herb garden to the side of the house after we got the puppies. Having it run the length of the fence by the lane was asking for destruction…. which they promptly did.
During the summer the new herb garden gets filtered sunlight all day, with a bit of direct sun mid-afternoon.
During the winter it gets direct sun almost all day.
Apparently the parsley loves cold, damp weather and lots of sun.
I accidentally left it in last winter and it thrived.
I intentionally left it this winter and it’s taking over the garden.
Now I have to use it.
Soup for winter; light soup for ‘after the holidays’.

Mon mari has been busy, but we have nothing to show for it.
Nothing new, anyway. He’s been doing the last coats of paint and varnish, and other bits of trim.
So I thought I would show you the dogs….
I’ve been channeling the pioneer spirit, trying to accustom myself to living with a dirt floor.
You know – look on the bright side, stiff upper lip, be positive…. All that crap.
The house and dogs will be clean again in a few weeks.
I can wait and in the meantime, I decided, I can ignore.
This is Bonnie, after she’s had a few hours to dry off.
In case you don’t remember, Bonnie is mainly white with black…. She has no brown fur at all.
And her belly is all white, or should be. Guapa, on the other hand is white with brown patches on her back.
Other than her face, she has no black anywhere. And definitely no gray. I think I need to do some more trimming. I suggested to mon mari that he hold them down while I shave their bellies….
He declined.
Wimp.
