Holy April!

The birdies are singing and I am once again able to get out of bed before 8 am.
Major accomplishment.
I have the longer days to thank.
Now the winter of my discontent is over, I have to put the geraniums back outside and clean the horrible window frame



in the back ground.....it never ends, but goes round and round.

Chips

I love chips! Yesterday, I got a big bag at Costco ( and I mean the BIG) bag. Plain with salt. My favourite. I love them. I can eat the whole bag- well maybey not a whole Costco bag but the smaller bigger one. I could never have an eating disorder, I love food too much. YUM. I love everything except: octopus, organ food of any kind, mussels, squid, and oysters. My favourite foods are: toast, pasta, steak, lobster, cheese , and chips. I am lucky in that I live with someone who does all the cooking. I love to eat but I don't like to cook. I like to eat. And do the dishes. And shop for food. Food glorious food- where would I be without it? People often ask me how I got to be this tall. It's because I ate so many Big Macs. Honestly.

Lovers Rock

Well if I'm going to criticize my friend for being a clutter hound, I better put my money where my mouth is. So I have spent the last week downsizing. Again. I filled my friend's car with stuff and dropped it all off ( not the car ) at the local thrift store. Boy, does it feel good! I gave away so much and I still have so much. The music that made the cut was: 1. Cesaria Evora- Miss Perfumado 2. Marlene Dietrich- Falling in Love Again 3. Oscar Petersen- Live from Chicago 4. Herb Alpert- A Taste of Honey 5. Sade- Lovers Rock 6. Edith Piaf- The Voice of the Sparrow

The Bounty

I grew these! All I had to do was buy them, plant them, and stick them in the ground. And add water. Mother nature did the rest. They are so beautiful I had to take a picture of them. They are perfect in their imperfection: no pesticides or funny chemicals needed here. Now all I have to do is figure out what to tell my chef make with them. Gazpacho? sauce? salsa? As summer winds to a close tommorrow, I am reminded of how much I love ALL of nature. I found a wasp this morning dying on the inside of my window- I caught it in a glass and let it outside for one last flyby in the rain. I love the rain. Flowers. Insects. Vegetables. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that I do not love in nature is rats. Happy Fall Equinox, everyone!
