intoxicating / delicious


L - iphone / T - phone

Ah it was glorious to wake up to the sun (it's been awhile since the sun shone so brilliantly). I so enjoyed my day today - sunshine at the breakfast table, strolling through a nursery stocked full of colors and scents, some hard labor, reading in the hammock, and dinner and dessert with T.
There's something intoxicating about browsing through a nursery - I literally get a light-headed, wonderful feeling there. Today I bought some lavender plants, some basil and some red geraniums, plus some bales of pinestraw. That's where the labor part comes in. I wanted the yard to look fresh and pretty for Easter. It feels good to work hard - to get hot and tired and thirsty and then be able to relax in the hammock with a good book. While I was relaxing I got a call from T - she was in town for a short time and was coming to have dinner with me. First thing she said when she sat down at dinner, "oh I have stories to tell... boy stories." There's nothing that makes me happier than for her to tell me stories. It was a short visit, but nice nonetheless / yesterday my phone stopped working. it's my life-line. i tried to get it fixed in athens but had no luck (they were plain rude and would not even give me a temporary replacement), so i decided to drive home today, feeling a little anxious not having a phone, to see if dad could help me. they were more helpful here or it's just better sometimes to have a parent around. i lost most of my contacts which didn't make me happy, but i was happy to get my phone back in working order. with that taken care of i went to have dinner with mom at mellow mushroom. we shared a tasty piece of 'death by chocolate' cheesecake. i came home real quick to take a shower because the hot water has been out at the dorm. it was late but i had to head back... i have 2 portraits to complete.

who is it / who's coming


posting solo again tonight

It's funny I can almost see the features. Can you tell who this is? You can certainly tell it's not a young person. I bet by seeing these snacks you can tell who's coming to home. At least when you know a little bit about me you could at least make a pretty good guess. When you know someone, it doesn't take much to identify them.
I've been blessed to have Taylor home 2 weekends in a row and this time she gets to stay for a week. When she came home last weekend I hadn't purchased the essential snacks. This time I made sure the snacks were here when she arrived.

I didn't get this posted last night because we were having too much fun playing rock band. It's been a while since we played and I have missed it. I am no musician but I can sort of do this. She plays on expert and I have remained at the medium level and as a "band" we do pretty well. However I think because of my playing last night we lost a few "fans". Have you ever played?
