So I'm finishing this longest day of the year feeling pretty pleased with life. For part of my dinner I harvested the second batch of blue lake string beans. (Seventeen. And last week I got eight. And I think next week I'll get more than seventeen - which really isn't bad at all for an eight inch pot, six dried beans and a bunch of string. Um, and dirt and water and fertilizer... and the beans in the south window, which were planted later, but get better light, are coming along nicely as well) I had them with a little bamboo shoots in chili oil and brown rice, and they were very good indeed.
Things are dry enough that I turned off the fan. There's no point in moving the furniture back into its proper places in my bedroom (which was only wet along one side, so everything is now on the other side) but things are pleasant and between the tidying, the noise reduction, and the great reduction of dust in the air, the sun, the lake and the sky the apartment has a nice sense of serenity about it. I did laundry - goodness, I really do have a lot of green clothing. I also vacuumed, did a light cleaning of the kitchen, swept, and so on. Watered the plants. It was a particularly nice sunset, and while I ate the room was full of gold light and the shadows of all the many leaves on the plants.
