It’s the first day of the year that I feel a bit sun-toasty. Bug and I went to the Sustain-a-Ball this morning, a farmer’s market with an Earth Day twist that Hank’s friend Samantha helped organize. I bought lettuces and yummy dense organic pastries and talked to the Austin BioFuels guy for a while. We got to feeling toasty walking the see of concrete so we adjourned to Cafe Mundi and drank lovely iced beverages from the odd ground-seating-pit there and discussed the merits and drawbacks of bamboo.
From there we went to the Camp ISH workday at Jack and Sarah’s and much sawing was performed in the service of camp comfort. I finally gave little Sofia the Rainbow Worm of Doom so she will have something to gnaw on with those two teeth besides carrots and her mommy’s boobie.
When I came home the sun was down and I went out to water my hanging pots. When I looked up into my giant elm tree I saw a huge spotted owl staring down at me. He stayed in the tree for a bit while I moved towards him slowly to get a closer look. Then he flew to my neighbor’s elm so I trailed after him. The cardinals were most displeased and flew around the trees chirping to each other, like a little cardinal air-raid siren.
I’m kinda sleepy.
