As I walk by to get my coffee every day, I have been hearing birdies chirping!
Wanna know why?
Enhance! [Jean-Luc Picard voice]
Yes, there are birds living in the facade!
Feeding babies:
Chirping and checking out the scene:
It's pretty great.

Little lunch!
At my desk. (I already ate the avocado quarter and the cheese chunk.)
Arugula season = best season of the year.

These iron hooks cast in a vintage mold were a birthday gift for Greg:
From me!
But now—what to do with them? They are rawther pointy.

Found!
Two books I have been wanting to read!
I didn't read this when it came out, but I am curious about it. It didn't get the greatest reviews, but Mary Gaitskill's pretty interesting anyway.
I gave my dad The World Is What It Is, Patrick French's new biography of V. S. Naipaul, for Hannukah, and since then I have been thinking of rereading some of his novels. This is a good one.
YAY SERENDIPITY!

Saturday luck!
First:
At the farmers market: rhubarb apple juice!
We have been looking for this every week for two years! We had it in summer 2007, but then it disappeared. It was so good we never forgot about it.
We stocked up.
Second:
Cafe Grumpy, in my neighborhood. Motto: "The customer is always wrong."
The baristas will not put your espresso on ice—I guess it adulterates their perfect shots.
Yesterday:
No problem!
L*U*C*K*Y!

If you were a cat...
...would you want to swat the hell out of this thing?
I tried to make it tantalizing.

Mani pedi
I hate having long nails, toe or finger.
Yeah . . . the pedicurist was somewhat consternated by this little guy!
Nice navy blue and chocolate brown, tho, right?

Lovely happiness
We must own this home. Even if (Especially if...?) it means we also must move to Sweden.
Looks like we'll be in a bidding war with Fine Little Day! (She totally saw it first.)

Found last night!
As I was cooling down after my run, on top of a trashcan:
Desert Babies!
Choice spread:
OMG adorable! This will be a present for my friend Carey, who is a word-class devotee of the Qte.
Also, this amazing book about bread!
I'm keeping that one!
Yay books!!

"One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it."
That's what Jasper Johns said about the development of his painting Flag, of 1954–55.
In 1958 he made Three Flags, and this is the envelope on which he first sketched his idea. It looks like it spent a lot of time in Johns's studio before it was acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art (it was a fiftieth-anniversary gift, so maybe in 1981?), where Greg is a paper preparator. He found it in the racks and took this picture!
