WEATHER: Hot and sunny in the AM. High about 95; Cooler and stormy in the PM
We are in a routine now with the dog that we are watching. I do the morning walk and George does the evening one. Each time, we go on a different route so that I can look at the beautiful historic houses.
Today was another very hot day so we spent most of the time indoors, reading. The homeowners have lots of good books. I read this one that I would strongly recommend....
The homeowner is also a gourmet cook and has hundreds of cookbooks that are fun to peruse.
In the afternoon, a storm blew through. Genji, our dog, got a little frightened, and asked, by pawing, that I pet and reassure him. Very cute.
One of the best things about housesitting is befriending homeowners from all over the world. Today, I saw on Facebook that our homeowner in Brittany, France posted pictures of her first tomatoes of the year. I replied, asking her if they were the same tomatoes that George and I had planted for her in April. She said yes, thanked us, and then went on to say that they named their new 2 lambs Karmen and George. I can't believe it! What an honor!!! How funny! This is Karmen....
In the early evening, we went into downtown Walla Walla, about 10 blocks away, to a restaurant that has an excellent value happy hour. George had an IPA from a Walla Walla brewery and I had their house wine, both about half price. The menu looks very interesting - a farm-to-table type place with locally sourced foods.
DINNER: Spaghetti using a leftover brat, onions, and peppers. The homeowners encouraged us to eat their different varieties of lettuce before they bolt, so we are enjoying lots of greens.
