sometimes it's hard to get back into a rhythm here, and the best way i know to fix that is just to say hello.
so hi.
i'm up absurdly early again, but what that means is that i'm alone, and the house is cool, and quiet. first things: open the doors, refill the water bottles, feed the cats, make a pot of tea, chug a glass of tomato juice, start the computer up.
yeah, i know. that last one there. i've been spending more time away from not just here, but everywhere online. it feels good.
but still. have to check in first thing in the morning. see if anything momentous happened overnight.
anyway.

my geraniums and vinca look as healthy as can be in the window box; i bought a bunch of herbs and some sweet potato plants at the union square market last week: i ripped out the leggy pansies in front, and tim put the new plants in.
the cutting bed he made is in full swing;
the other day at the market, anna asked if we could buy flowers and i looked at her incredulously.
are you kidding?
she was.
no shortage of flowers around this house right now.

i think the word jerk is underused. there are a lot of uglier, more fashionable things to say about a deserving someone, but really, are any of them better than jerk?
::
i'm going out for tacos tonight with two of my favorite people, and i can not wait. these people make me laugh, for real. and tacos. enough said.
::
lindsey and anna are sleeping together for the first time in a long time, and i actually stood there and looked at them for a solid two minutes, just soaking it in.
the funny thing is, when anna's sleeping, she looks older to me these days; when lindsey's sleeping, i can see the very baby she was almost a.decade.ago.
that thought right now, those words, a decade ago, just stopped me in my tracks here.
::
obviously, i've recently learned how to type in italics.
::
and with that, i think i've said hello.
more soon. enjoy the day.
xo,
