This post is just more or less a whole buncha of snapshots I took this week.
Spent the long weekend at Colin's, and this is one of the squirrels that's always outside his window.

I love those damn squirrels, and don't care that that one squirrel can deplete an entire birdfeeder's worth of seed in a day. At any given time, 1-3 other squirrels hang out underneath the feeder to catch the spilled seeds.
Colin's plants have been growing, and actual stuff has finally yielded:

green beans
zucchini!
The green beans were steamed, and the zucchini was made into baked zucchini chips (coated in breadcrumbs and parm and garlic powder) and zucchini bread:
Aside from that, back at my house, we have a HUGE HUGE HUGE amount of basil plants growing (these are, like, 3 feet tall plants) that I have no idea what to do with. Chinese cuisine and basil don't tend to go hand-in-hand. The best I could manage was pasta. Which used up like, 6/500 basil leaves that I currently have at my disposal...
On Independence Day, Colin's roommate took us to Ocean City (NJ, not MD). Beach! Sun! Crowds of people! Boardwalk! Fireworks (I. love. fireworks.) right on the beach! Junk Food! Saltwater Taffy! Fried Oreos! French Fries! Funnel Cake! Polish Water Ice (best new food discovery eveeer)! Dive-bombing seagulls!
Still working on the painting. Here's a day-by-day progression. Each snapshot has a difference of about 3 hours of work between them (I work from 8pm-11pm most nights).
