Lazy Sunday...
Took time to catch up reading about all of your lives on LJ, and sadly learned about so manys family members passings.
Went to the farmers market and got lots of yummy veggies and herbs for the week and learned that Portland has a lovely program in place for those on food stamps. Not only can you purchase produce at the farmers markets, but at least at Montavilla, you also get an extra $5-10 depending on how much you spend. Not a bad way to inspire everyone to support a local, sustainable economy.
Later this evening I'll head over to Liberty Hall to hear David Rovics play and then head to work loading out American Idol.
It's funny, I'm sore today. And I'm pretty sure it's because of the many, many times going down the slip and slide. I had an accomplice, a 6 (?) year old boy, son of some of the folk at our friend's bbq. I went down once because it was so hot and have no qualms about doing so in my faery skirt and tank top. After that, my little friend would barely allow me to stop for food! 'Twas much fun. :-)
I also learned that dogs and alpaca's get along quite amiably. There were *many* dogs running around the land and three alpaca's. Not to mention kids, "adults" and nuns. Yep, nuns. There a nunnery of the only currently growing order of nuns in the US right next door. They have a sister program with a montessori school in Germany. I was showing my Poland pictures to one of the nuns that has traveled to Germany a lot but has yet to make it to Poland despite her wants. She was quite appreciative. :-) The crosses they wear are fascinating. Two equal legnth nails soldered together enclosed in a circle.
