sunday
Lovely, lovely rain. At the moment.
Earlier Rossy and Gabe and I went swimming in the creek. We went up to the bend, where it got shallow and then floated on inner tubes back down. There was a place on the far bank with the smell of death. Turned me off. That's as far as we went. But before that it was so pleasant to float slowly, turning in circles, listening to different bird songs, looking at different trees and bushes, 10,000 polliwogs near the banks. Then the young ones went down the rapids 3 times while I watched. A group of people were farther down the creek. I could smell their cigarette smoke even when I couldn't see them.
Back home, a warm shower then a nap in the tent. I am obsessed with the tent and with spending time in it. Listening to the rain pattering on the roof. Loving the intimacy of an outdoor airy enclosure.
Dinner. Baked haddock, sugar carrots and basmati rice with butter.
Watching Junebug at the moment.
