Here's the Luscious One laboring in the Garden--a veritable Eve, one might say, except for the overalls and rubber boots plus a teeny bit of concealer and a tiny bit of eye liner . We were up and out early Saturday morning, got the fences up and the veggies in the ground and farmer's tans (mine was farmer's sunburn) to boot. I looove working in the dirt and we oughta see results before too long.

Today I'm grateful:

• that my Zappo's order finally came
• that my dancing stamina is improving--we danced nearly every dance Friday night--fast polkas included--for a little over two hours and still had energy to go shopping at HEB
• that I love planting--whether it's flowers or veggies
• for the noon meeting at St. Paul's today--lots of recovery plus all my favorite people at that meeting
• for the Fruitcake Lady https://home.comcast.net/~jfmelnick/fruitcakelady.wmv
• that I occasionally remember to Let Go and Let God
• that when I did a spell check on this, it suggested Fruitcake (see above) be replaced with britches or proteases--Hmmmmmm--

To make good choices, I must develop a mature and prudent understanding of myself that will reveal to me my real motives and intensions. (Thomas Merton: No Man Is an Island)
