just because i liked the way these looked together…

the weekend ended up being Just Fine, despite the mild crankiness of saturday evening. i think i had that feeling of the time passing too quickly and not having enough of it to do all the things i wanted. typical. i settled down, made the guacamole (with lemon balm and a pepper from the garden! mmmm!) and the fried okra. we watched The Departed, which was intense and escapist, then slept. all as predicted. in the morning, i was slightly cranky again, but realized that i needed to get out. so i worked, chatted with my mother and one sister, showered and made ready to go out. we went to the garden center and i bought a few more pepper plants (some new mexico green chiles! yay!) and some valentino basil and a parsley, to fill in the place where all the bolted lettuce was removed. we took a walk around the garden center neighborhood, which was one i had never walked in, though it is one of my poet’s favorites and he wanted to show. indeed, it was like being in another town. i was reminded of new mexico and austin and anotherworldaltogether, as indicated by the images above.

then home for more work on the magazine, and a break for the artTable, where i was HAPPY. i finished all of the glueing down for the halfyearJournal, using up lots of scraps and started using up paints and stamps and old brushes, oh it was good. then i chatted with another sister and when it was dimmer and cooler went out to finish the garden. it’s done for summer now! and it is growing really nicely. i went to sleep smiling, happy to have felt productive with my own things *and* work.

this morning still happy.
