beetle!
And a very cool one at that.
Turns out it's a dark metallic wood borer; never seen one before.
It seemed pretty content to rest on my wrist.

le weekend: scallops, cabinets, birthdays
The weekend began with a lovely seafood grill on the deck. Bacon-wrapped scallops, jumbo shrimp, corn, Andrew's cole slaw. I picked up some steak kabobs for Andrew since he's not so keen on scallops. Dario came over, which is always nice. He and Andrew are becoming better friends and Pat really likes him. He [Dario] had never had magic shell [?!], ( Read more... ) -

you think you know a guy...
You know he likes Gang Starr's Love Sick and think you've heard him mention an LL Cool J song, but then one day he's listening to NWA's 100 Miles and Running, and Ice Cube's No Vaseline, and Eminem's 3 am. Like, out of the blue. And they're songs he loves. Lol. Crazy, right? Good though.

bamboo!
As you may know, there is a large stand of bamboo in our backyard. It was [and is] one of the things that rocks about our yard. It's magical stuff, no matter what horrible things people say about it. Sure, it's hardy and takes a bit of controlling, but that's a small price to pay for the smooth jade trunks, the evergreen whispering wall.

The basil---B---ended up around the basin with the rosemary and the space between the beans and cukes is empty now, waiting for Autumn peas. Looks like the sun and warm of the weekend coaxed a few more sprouts; we went ( Read more... ) -

totally, like, random
I have discovered they have really good New England clam chower in the cafeteria. This could be dangerous.
We saw the sun this morning! So far it hasn't rained today! I can't wait for the garden to start sprouting.
Heading to a Habitat for Humanity ReStore for the first time tomorrow. Been very curious since I learned about them and might maybe get a ( Read more... ) -

I know a fair few people read this, and while I keep it for myself, i do like that you read it. =)
I try not to make it insanely personal so you feel you have to avert my gaze next time or something, lol.

dream
I normally am not dreaming when I wake during the week, but this morning I was so deeply dreaming, I snoozed my alarm but didn't realize it. It still felt like a dream, so I didn't wake up until 7:17! I'm normally up at 7:00 ( Read more... )
