After a week of barely seeing Ross, Friday night came around and a date was due! We live on the second floor of orange duplex in an apartment that we love. It's old and there may be grim on the tiles in the kitchen, only a bath tub in which to bathe, and visible slant to the floor in the living room...but it's got charm. And, it has a porch! Off the back door a green painted porch allows us to observe our chickens in the yard and look down at our landlord's garden to the North. It's cozy and provides a nice little perch on the world below.
So Ross prepared the meal and I hurried about to put together a little soiree in our porch. Out came the card table, a nice linen tablecloth and into the yard I went to cut a flowering weed that added a sweet little touch. I also pulled out the candelabra which is one of my favorite home items. The candles lit and the scene was magical.
Ross prepared a fish dinner we got from Organic Gardening the magazine. It was a ginger-steamed black cod. I was giddy the whole meal it tasted so awesome.
Another magical summer evening in our little apartment in the orange house. I encourage everyone to have a slow evening this week or weekend...and don't forget to light candles!
