Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am pro flowering groundcover, generally.

Sorry. we had an earthquake (clearly). I am excited about the raised beds. I am never actually going to assemble them unless they come in some sort of easy system. Also, I am irresponsible and need an drip irrigation system. So this all seems perfect for me!

The status is NOT quo.

How the heck did I miss the earthquake? I was up and about but felt nothing.

Pix, it was in Westwood. Not a lot of shaking here (just a little) but way more rumbling.

Punishingly Intricate

We have rented a plot in a community garden for this summer. Hoping we'll be more successful growing veggies there than we are at home!

I'm working at home today. I just can't even try with the stuff out there. Fortunately, Bob is in town this week and he took care of morning dog walking and shoveling/cleaning off the cars. I'll have to go out eventually because we had a bunch of baked goods leftover from a fundraising event we had last night and I left them in the car with the intention of bringing them into work today. I need to go liberate a rice krispie treat!

Because books.

The earthquake is all over Twitter. Here we just have more lousy snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess I should be grateful that we have no natural phenomena of note here -- just sunny and cold.

NOPE NOPE NOPE.
