After a week on the road to a conference in St. Louis, it was great to return home and to find myself again in the kitchen. But it was also a busy enough day taking care of postponed tasks that a supper of limited and uninvolved prep was needed. That's how I came to roast spiced salmon to go atop some fresh leafy greens, all adorned with creamy Caesar dressing I had on hand, and glorified as is necessary with a few good shakes of roasted sunflower seeds.
We were back to stunning weather even though it was past the middle of October, and after the meal it seems Sumner had no interest in being anywhere except for outside.
Alas, there is a sad note to append here: Scarlett got ahold of one of the young rabbits from the fluffle that's apparently created a warren in the lost back slope of overgrown shrubbery and ornamental grass. She is not yet as skilled as Sumner and so the job was an incomplete one; the colony's census has decreased by one and I'm unhappy about it. Still, this is in fact nature and instinct at work, isn't it?
