"No!"


This thing is awesome!


I wasn't totally sure it was discarded, or I would have for sure taken it.

Geraniums

Soooo pretty and they smell so good!

If only the same could be said for me.

One of the lesser-known proofreading marks


I found this post-it on my office floor.

"Kitty jail"

My friend sent me these pichures from the vet's office.


They are up for adoption: Underdog (left) and Tom Collins.

Beamed through space.


Touched my leg.

Put the pictures in order.

PS I made a strawberry-rhubarb pie...

This evening


Hello beautiful.




I like how you have your own special cushion there.

My friend Courtney taught me


A shoe box almost always has shoes in it.

FOUND!


Yes.


Day-glo orange wheat.

This guy:

Also confused yet fascinated.

Anyhoo, this stuff is presently looking great in a milk bottle on our kitchen table!

I'm not sure what's going on here



But I do appreciate the attention given.

Hexagons!

Officially, awesomely, done!


This shows the "back":


You may recall that I was going to put a yellow border on it, but I tried it and decided—this is a modern blankie; no border necessary. I like it with the natural edge.



Now it sits on a shelf in my friend Beth's room patiently awaiting winter. Let's hope it's a cold one!

And, for me--NOW WHAT??? (Maybe finish this special blankie for me and Greg?)

Free

Bag of Match Light!


Pigeon not included.

Found!

Francis and Clare, Saints of Assisi.




Apostolic Blessing!

And did you know about this?



Nihil obstat! The censor librorum has declared the book free of doctrinal or moral error (PHEW, 'cause I had already started reading it).

Also: the good thing about being a heathen is you don't already know how the story ends.

The good thing about books you find on the street:

They are free.


The bad thing:




Someone might have crossed out every reference to sex with a black marker!!!!!!!!

Memorial Day weekend BBQ



"Can you help me put my fox ear back on?"

Today

At the corner store with my friend Beth, I happened to notice this item in the freezer.


Yes, Mamita's Batata Cream.


I showed it to Beth and she was like—LET'S GET IT! (Somehow this radical step had not occurred to me: a key difference in our personalities.)


It was shockingly good!

Derlicious quiescently frozen tropical-sweet-potato-flavored frozen custard is now in my life!

Exley

Bath time!

At first he sulked like a big baby.



But then he had fun!




Brrrrr.


All clean!

Fffffffound!

Last night while I was running:

A black jersey miniskirt, aw yeah!

A bag o' clothes on the street is a good reason to stop running (like just about anything).

Tuna = my new thing

I found this brand that supposedly has fifty percent less mercury than other kinds and is dolphin friendly, etc etc. But it costs $3.29 per can!!!?!

Anyway—last night:


Tuna melts.

Goat cheese, hardboiled egg, plum vinegar, spring garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and peppa.
