Ooh! I saw a redwing blackbird today too, sara! Serendipity! I was out in the front drive weeding, and it was sitting on the tray feeder scolding me. I'm always happy to see them because they're migratory here.

I also saw a Scott's oriole. No Baltimore ones yet this year. I need to put out some oranges.

New hair.

New hair.

Cool! Must be getting summer time in the desert.

We're back from java's cookout for flea. So much good food! I'm overstuffed. Grilled salmon burgers, P-Cow's chili, potatoes, every kind of cocktail you can make with Meyer lemons, pie.

Matilda was on her charming best behavior and had much talk with flea. Perkins and I went lemon picking. (She's looking very svelte and her hair is longish and pretty.) Consuela was there looking very chic. Matt and Beth came by with their friend Tom. megan walker was there, just back from Santa Cruz with flea. Good company and good food, well hosted by javachik.

So the Deadwood Pancakes video Matt was talking about is pretty great.

Mmm, sounds lovely. And yup, it is just now getting warm in the Arizona mountains. Totally did it on a whim; walked past it on my way from the bookstore (where I was finally picking up my copy of one Deb Grabien`s "While My Guitar Gently Weeps.") and said, huh, I could get my hair cut. And as I had the photo of indignant French teacher on my phone, I did.

I had a great time tonight. Flea went to bed shortly after everyone left, and I cleaned up in my usual post party whirlwind. And then I cozied up on the couch and watched 3 hours of Tivo'd Survivor finale. I think I need go take aflea to the airport in a few hours...

Breaking news! Krispy Kreme in trouble in Australia: [link]

It turns out that Krispy Kreme was just a fad in the States, too.

I got up ridiculously early this morning, so that I could walk to work and be here by 7:00.

I woke up early, which is good since for some reason, the alarm didn't go off.

Just back from dropping Flea at the airport.
