Another Long Day
Jul. 1st, 2008 11:06 pmSo today I started a little later, but didn't get home from work in Mission quarter after ten or so. I poured a good twenty-five gallons of water on my poor wilty deck (yesterday had time to do rats but not water after work) and ate a beautiful raw ear of fresh corn on the cob and now I'm writing a little.
There was a lot of wonderful in today. It started when I was awoken by my favourite person crawling into bed beside me at first light, headed through working in one of the loveliest pieces of property in Mission with a view of the Abbey (and bells chiming every half hour or so) and also of the river and through being given g&ts by these same clients, who then sent us home with bottles of wine, fresh corn and basil, and asparagus pasta and scones that they'd made, through napping on the ride home and then on to my garden and rats waiting for me and soon a shower and a bed and the surprisingly yummy corn. Next time I tell you I don't like corn, remember it's only because it isn't fresh.
The tomatoes on my deck are blooming like crazy. I heard from Piotr, who makes me remarkably happy to be in contact with. I had a good idea for the masquerade. My roses are doing well, and I'll have more space on my deck soon. I will be tired at work tomorrow -- the morning comes too soon -- and bed will be a smidge lonely, and I didn't make masks or make it to the salmon festival today, but you know, more than enough is certainly enough, and there are other days.
I have decided I need a mister on my deck if this weather is going to continue. The water kind, not the boy kind. Well, you know, I could do with both.
