Well, it's been a fun 5 years here at my first grown up apartment but it's time to pack up ourselves and move on. And by move on I mean move to a place down the block so I can still walk to Sushi Tomi, Steven's Green and that goofy used bookstore whose name I can never remember.
Strange thinking about the place I've called home for so long--It was here with an innocent pot of mint (any of you who have mint plants from me, they were all pieces of that original plant!), a snake plant (same) and a maidenhair fern that I was first bitten by the gardening bug. It was also here I really came into my own as a cook. Here I brought home my sweet Maxie boy. Here was my sanctuary, my place to think and unwind after long days at my favorite job in the world.
But this reflection tells me that there are more amazing adventures to come. As to the garden, I suspect that only the green beans might not survive the move and there is good news: at my new place there's plenty of room for gardening, even expanding from containers to the ground. There's an adorable kitchen with antique tile and bright sunny windows, the site of many future dinner parties. I can actually take a chip off my dad's block and learn to barbecue--no more rules about that! So, readers, stay tuned for more California gardening and cooking adventures coming soon!
yay!!! your new place sounds awesome, i can't wait to see it! it sounds like this is such a good move for you, and hopefully it will come with all good things. woohoo!
