Today’s color is orange. Over the weekend we had a nice sneak peek of summer, eating BBQ steak and orange sweet potato (or kumara as it’s called in New Zealand) on our deck. 📷🌈 #mbmay
The Micro.blog mini-challenge this week is color-a-day photos. Today: red. As part of wanting to go to the store less at present, we’re trying various food delivery services, including Farmbox Direct. 📷🌈 #mbmay
