i'm told that when i was two, i announced my intention to be an avon lady when i grew up. i don't remember this, but i do remember my babysitter--an avon lady who would take me on her house visits (only to households which welcomed children, of course).
( long, drawn out story of how i came to be where i am )

i guess this is really just one version of how i got where i am. i could probably tell the story with infinite variations as i remember different things each time. i could look at it from different angles. for now, however, this will do.

i have the tv on MMUSA, just listening to music and relaxing. boy was sitting on the porch, enjoying the weather as he reads up on XML.

i noticed a nice song coming on, but didn't know who it was. boy came inside immediately, eyes wide, "WOW!"

it's the tea party. we like them lots, but have never seen a video.

yay!

at some point last night or this morning, i managed to stretch some more scar tissue. *sigh*

despite the upper chest pain, i managed to weedwhack the front walkway, flowerbeds, and the old footprint along the southern side of the house.

i pulled lots of crabgrass out of the flowerbeds, refilled the birdbath, and laughed at the skink with tom.

i wandered the perimeter of the field, checking on the persimmon tree (fruit is starting to blush), the berry vines (dry dry dry), and various other interesting things. found more nightshade, noticed the juniper is putting out berries, discovered a sour cherry tree, and giggled at all the grasshoppers springing away from my feet.

i found several depressions in the field that i don't remember. they have small plants growing in them... i hope they aren't pre-sinkholes. they're probably just old tree stump craters i somehow missed before.

i think i've earned my rest now.


then i rested a bit, hopped in the shower, and am now enjoying being clean.
