home made

I had a spare hour to enjoy a walk in the fine spring air yesterday. The boulevard was filled with people dutifully and efficiently excercising themselves rather than strolling or prominading. The suits and bonnets of yesteryear have been replaced with underarmor. So I took to the alleys to avoid being run over and was pleased to see lots and lots of tomato plants in production, some in big tubs. A number of home owners are farming on thier yards and parking lots.

priorities

so now here is my pride and joy, lovely in her master's hood. 

recovered memory

Its not like I blacked out, my camera chip lost this capture, which just happens to be the bartender in a monkey costume who served the older daughter and me after her graduation. I lamented the camera's empty memory when today I noticed the battery port not securely closed, shut it and this came back. Oh. And also some very lovely photos of Little Ethanol in her academic regalia, but this first.

we laugh we cry we move on

Nothing special, just catching up to myself. A few hours at work on the holiday morning, groceries, laundry, the rain. Last night and the one before I watched some movies with the tot. I don't really remember the first, the second one was about the Loch Ness monster. It stopped short of cloying most of the time. We also saw one detailing the life of an incorrigible dog who teaches the human family about unconditional love. A mediocre film that made me sniff, anyway. Someday I'll get out to see some friends...I need to rent that house in Remington.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a visit to the porcelain room.

Tomato Crop

I've never grown tomatoes before, so I didn't know that they aren't supposed to appear for another month or so. The nice part is, is that I don't have to wait for them to grow over the neighbors' fences so that I can snitch them this year. It looks as if we'll have enough of our own.

Looking in the medicine cabinet for perhaps an asprin

Gosh I'm stressed. The workload at my job is large enough that I am going too quickly and have made a couple of minor slips, but tensions are running high. Misunderstandings and delays cause tempers to flare. There's a lot of cussing in the air, but none of is directed at me. Yet.

Southern Exposure

The Quakers have encouraged us to plant vegetables for the needy in our gardens. So we've put in Yellow Taxis, sweet 100 cherry tomatoes and today, big boys. Sweet basil and dwarf purple. Rosemary, a pepper plant and four trelisses of sugar snap peas! All in pots at the head of the parking lot. I don't know that we'll grow enough to give away, but at least it's a cheap, relaxing hobby that tires me out and I can see the results.

Revisited

 

Yesterday I nearly hit the famous movie director as he crossed Roland Avenue in front of moving traffic. He looked exceedingly cross in a slept-in rumpled blue pinstripe jacket and shocking pink shirt. Heaven help me if I Injured our municiple treasure, I'd have to move out of town. The things that strikes me, though, is that this wasn't the first time he's almost gone under my wheels.

Chores

Today is a good day for gardening and cooking. Also to hang some art, mine and little Ethanol's. I may get around to putting away boxes and moving furniture,
