trekking with one rock in my pocket

Jun 29, 2009 23:57

I spent the evening with Jen trudging up and down hills along the seawall. she's prepping for the west coast trail and i'm keeping her company.

had a revelatory moment while walking by the dog beach. those moments are precious and rare -- when all of a sudden the muslin is pulled from your eyes and for a brief moment, the universe becomes crystal clear. yeah. i had one of THOSE moments.

went home to email it to myself before i forgot, as the cloth is already clouding the universe from view.

oh yeah. and i can't wait for my heirloom black cherry tomatoes to ripen so that i can taste the fruits of our labour.

i've been sexing my tomatoes with a vibrator for weeks. it helps shake the pollen down so they pollinate and make fruit.  i feel a little dirty every time i do the deed. interspecies sexing is so...awkward.  and the fruits of my labour? 16 baby tomatoes-to-be. :)

food, hope, garden
