Chair at Crewe Hall, England

Everyone should have a chair like this in their living room !

cool nights

for the first time since we moved to maine, we slept with the A/C on lat night....mostly becuase it was already in the window. it was kinda nice, but i'm glad that we don't HAVE to use it every day like we did in Groton.

plant life

the "red dot" clearance of perennials that have lost their bloom for the year is now on. i was at home depot and picked up some day lillie containers for $3 each. it's almost like resurrected these plants to give them a new life. First they are sitting there hoping to find a home, they bloom and put on their best show in order to entice a potential family. After, when it begins to droop and brown, it must think all hope is lost, destined for the compost pile, or worse, simply forgotten. I feel like i'm giving these plants a second chance, and they often respond by growing even better for me the next year. Not every plant i rescue comes back, but many do...all they needed was a fighting chance and a little attention.

What I'm Reading - The Fourth Hand - John Irving

Enjoyable so far, but i don't know where its going to go. Maybe a little too out there in terms of storytelling and it is leaving me feeling empty. i guess its entertaining, though.

Subtle shift

Move towards enjoying the life you live, not live trying not to die.

Sorry that its been so long since i've posted last. I can't explain why i have not taken the time to write more often lately...i just have not been compelled to share. I'll try to get back on track if for no other reason than to maintain a log of what i was experiencing at this time.
