Market this morning. Huddle of toddlers playing with kid's musical
Instruments near the circle of people playing banjo and fiddles. Got
An almond croissant to share with orryn & braxton and a tomato plant,
Etc. orryn napping now after getting all dirty repotting our plants
And planting some sweet pea seeds in egg cartons. There are some
Other events in town today; wine festival, bird day at the state park,
a town wide yard sale in Trenton, nearby. Read a book From the library
This morning about a teddy bear at a garbage dump, very sweet, so I bought a
Used copy for 1 cent plus shipping.
I hope our tomatoes make it in their small-ish pots till we move--their is a wee
Garden patch at the new house I will stick them in, but we still have about
A month to go.
We have family visiting next weekend so I'm working on cleaning and packing up
Some excess stuff, too. Maybe I will make ice cream in anticipation; I haven't used
Our ice cream maker since the summer we got here. |

Lots of honeysuckle around. It's like a weed he, it clogs the forests. The shrubs get quite high, too.
All the college students left, the town is suddenly quiet and empty. The cute restaurants on the Main Street all have lunch specials for locals in the summer. Yesterday I took orryn to get ice cream (just for me!) at udf and we walked around the community center gardens. Earlier he played on the splash pad with a bunch of other kids. When it isn't too hot, the summer is here sweet, idyllic.
Slowly gathering our things to be moved next month. Going back to my office for a bit to clean and send some books to authors. Wish we were headed to ca this summer--I guess we might be, for a wedding in August. |

i sent my cross fountain pen in for repair (to cross in rhode island!) but they're not
showing they have it (like a month ago, aaargh!). i hope it isn't lost, that would suck.
why, usps, whyyyyy. i think i got tracking but who knows where i put the slip :(
i have a bunch of disposable pilot varsity pens, but i wanted to get back into the habit of
using my fountain pens. the cross was my best one... i hope it turns up!

yesterday! braxton & i had to go to work
so orryn spent the day with nannies.
the day before braxton's dad and i went
around oxford; we went by our new house
& some of the old buildings in town, +
the state park to see raptors at the nature
center (and a baby mountain lion! so cool).
last night we went out to dinner after i picked braxton
up on campus and then skyped with
my parents & braxton's aunt. now he
is a year and a day. it is spring. school
is almost over. i love this time of year.
i got this illustrated edition of stein's tender buttons for orryn--so fun to read to him with the pictures. it's a nice book.
i need to start packing the house (we move
june 30, a bit far away, but i like to get started early!) so the nannies are coming
a couple extra days next week to help with orryn so i can start to get things ready. since that's their last week (they're graduating! i'll have to find someone new in the fall).</p> |
