I've accomplished an inordinate amount of sleep this weekend. Rising early for all of an hour then climbing back into bed until after noon. Both days. I guess I just felt lazy.

I bought 11 different varieties of heirloom lettuce seeds yesterday, including 3 different Romaine style lettuces. Can we say NUMMY Caesar salads in the not to distant future. I went up to the greenhouse at school and planted 8 flats of lettuce seeds. Did some more digging, and relished every minute of it. It's my own private playground.

I feel a kind of nostalgic connection to my maternal grandfather through this job. He was a grounds keeper at the Phelps mansion (or was it Phillip's) in Tulsa, Oklahoma (or was it Oklahoma city) in the early 1920's. When I was in high school I saw a Scott's fertilizer add that featured the grounds of the mansion and showed it to my grandpa. He had stories to tell, but sadly I have little memory for that kind of thing, even as much as they interest me. I wish I would have kept that add. Also he had amazing fruit trees and bountiful vegetable gardens every summer. Summer meals at grandma and grandpa's were always a vegetarian feast! Mmm those were lovely days.

I talked to Corazon today after I redesigned her layout. I'm waiting to see what she has to say about it. I'm not sure what I think of it. It seemed to pop at first. Now I'm not so sure. I can't help thinking it just needs a bit of somethin', somethin'.

I just ate a VERY unsatisfying avocado. calamity. What is the world coming too when not even the luscious alligator pear can inspire gastronomic gratificatiion?

Habibi and I spent some absolutely lovely quality time with each other and friends this weekend. It was a good time.
