Update of My Life, Such as it Is

i was a little under the weather last week but am picking up now. it's beautiful week-end. jim and i cleaned the back yard yesterday, which is a big job even though it's a small yard. and i've been puttering with the plants for awhile now. bought the hanging fuchsia friday, i think, and a potted red geranium. had already transplanted the pink narcissus to the front....checking on the tulips and the day lilies, making sure everything is getting enough water. it's already been too dry for too long since we got almost no snow last winter......

jim has gone off for a bike ride now, and i'm going to go over to the writer's center later this afternoon for a poetry reading...a friend of mine is on the agenda. jim's parents will be here tonight for the night so i've changed the sheets - we'll give them our bed - and moved some of our stuff to the basement for the evening. we'll go out to dinner.

starting a new painting, portrait of my sister kaye's sons. finished, except for minor corrections, the florida paintings. charlotte, ella and anja stopped over this morning on their way out with bill to visit another friend and were duly admiring.

i got the title of this post from the same friend who will be reading today at the writer's center. i thought it might make a good poem title. haven't used it for that yet, but it struck me as appropriate to what i felt like writing about so, thanks, Deborah!
