Away for slates

I am behind. A couple of weeks ago we went camping and caving at Mammoth Cave Nat’l Park with friends. Highlights: a challenging cave tour requiring helmets, headlights, kneepads, and a girth less than 42″ to fit through tight openings (the belly crawl through the Keyhole was messiest). Sleeping in a leaky tent in an all-night storm. A bird pooping on me while I napped in a chair. The Fire Masters mastering the fire…




David and I are thinking about going back in late fall to try another in-the-dirt tour. With a new dry tent.


Remember the other day, about two posts ago, when I mentioned we get a lot of packages shipped to our house and I felt guilty about all the packaging? This arrived that same day from Amazon:

You could have mailed adult humans in those boxes. And the lids to the gray storage containers arrived separately in another big box!


Check out the steamy action shot: David made a yummy tomato sauce the other day from tomatoes and basil in our backyard. Not enough are coming ripe currently so I supplemented today with tomatoes from the Farmers’ Market held in the park a block away.

No, we don’t have cabinet doors yet.

I LOVE the picture of David lying “in state” on the picnic table. Very Egyptian!

P.S. Those boxes would make great forts!

The caving sounds awesome. If you go again I’d love to come along!
