Kit-Kat and Barack and Peas...oh my!

Yep. We love our Kit Kat clock! Doesn't everyone? My wife suprised me with one of these a few years ago...I probably have 500 shots of this since I take a picture of it every time I walk by. Check out these hinges in the kitchen. I'm guessing the kitchen remodel occurred in the late 60's? That's a complete guess. Does anyone have an idea of the time period for these hinges? I'm thinking they were fairly common at one point. They're cozy and rustic. I've heard comments that "it's like the kitchen I grew up in" -- but they must go! I'll post pics of the complete "before" kitchen later.

Barack Obama paid a visit to Austin today -- very cool, indeed. Just a couple of pics then back to the house/garden...yay!

Here's a shot of the crowd looking back towards the old Palmer Auditorium that is being converted into the new Long Center for Performing Arts. I love that they kept the old ring that supported the convention area dome!

The first pea sprout! My favorite veggie every year is the sugar snap pea! Here's the first, sole sprout. I expect more in a day or two. I'll have handfulls of peas in the next month or so!!!
