Not much going on here

It's been a fairly quiet week or so. Thairo is working about 4 hours away so has been driving down on Monday then coming home Friday evening. We don't generally do much weekday evenings but it still seems a lot more boring around here without him. I've been working on my Yellowstone paper, still...
The weather has been great. It's been sunny and warm for most of the past week. I think that I'll put the tomatoes out tomorrow so they can get some direct sunlight. That's about a highlight of the week-taking the tomatoes for a walk.

Housing coops-who knew?

So in this lovely (and crazy expensive city) there are some interesting experiments in socialist housing. As much as we love our current house and especially garden, it is really expensive so we've decided to try to get into a housing co-op. We checked a number out yesterday and really liked what we could see from the outside. There are 7 around Commercial Drive which I think is my favorite neighborhood, I'm filling out applications for all of those. And we'll apply for a few that are in downtown or closer to the university. But really I think we want to live over by the drive. The waitlists for these places seem to be very long-probably at least a year, but might as well get the clock ticking.

Seedling nursery

Here are our tomato and pepper seedlings. We switched to a 40w compact fluorescent-which still isn't a real grow light but the seedlings seem to be happy and not leaning towards the window. I'll transplant the tomatoes once the get their second set of true leaves.
