Summer At Last

Hard to believe the 4th of July is next week already. It's starting to feel more like summer up here. Though we aren't the only ones loving the warm weather. Plenty of bugs and mosquitoes everywhere.... Joe's grape vines are growing well. Tomatoes and a few other veggies that we got from Phil and Judy were added in our rather chaotic garden of volunteer daikon radishes (below). Exciting nonetheless.

On Tuesday I made spicy shrimp rolls in the style of dragon rolls to finish the bottle of sake we had opened with Kozue.

We wished we had company to share our cool looking sushi rolls and sake... but then we got to enjoy more of everything to ourselves. We raised our sake cups to the beautiful summer weather.
