This morning the sky really looked like spring, a truer blue and the clouds were small, fluffy, non-threatening. It hasn't lasted because the wind picked up and blew in higher, more solid cloud.

The forsythia outside my office window is about to burst into a yellow scream. The buds look like pursed mouths stifling a yawn.

The hummingbird is still MIA. I hope he found a warm pocket somewhere and will be back soon, I miss him.

I'm procrasinating, I'm really good at that. Luckily there's nothing urgent on the agenda. I suppose I could be sketching out my next 30/30 poem - bummer.

Boo-

i saw somewhere online, a garden plan for Gothic Gardens and one of them was a garden which had only plants that bloomed at night. I have also seen a place where lovers of moon flowers can exchange their seeds. Theres also a plan for a garden and all the plants are poisonous, creepy, huh

hugs sweet Boo

Oh, Boo! they were places I found one night when I was up Googling and couldnt sleep. I guess I could Google again and maybe get lucky. I just thought the concept of a themed garden was cool, especially the poison flowers... especially those, lolol

I will get to looking for them

You know - if I could - I'd write you a sonnet to go with the spring.

I've quit my job today...well, I should say my company because I own it. I have spent the last six years designing and installing landscapes and fountains...
I have just taken a job doing research and development for a snowboard company. Serious cut in pay but I get to spend my day's on the slopes testing equipment to it's limits.
I no longer have to put up with employee's not showing up for work and all the high stress clients....I am free.

oh Sabina, Im happy for you if that s what you really want. I would never have been late if I had worked for you. That is the type job I have begged for down here and there are just so many people willing to do landscape work, men I should say, that a woman has no chance of getting a job like that. I was even told I would be a "distraction" to the rest of the employees and that was offensive as I always work twice as hard just to show them I am not a bum...


good luck with your new work!! have fun, honey bun

I know you would Dear Tess, and just the thought is a precious gift in itself

Good luck to you. I would quit my JOB, but they don't expect a lot out of me
and I can get that much done. I have spent too much time here on lit. lately.
I'm trying to do something with my side job and I have foreshaken it to stay
here. I think it has something to do with failure. I need a little energy to
get off my ass and work for myself each day. I feel better, hope you do about
your choice as well.

I have not been submitting anything since the 30 poem 30 day thread started, nor have I been reading the new poems with any regularity. It has such gravity I can't break out!



but I am glad for it, great experience. For some reason it seems harder than when we did it in November. I guess because then I cheated and doubled up on days ahead of time. Hmm.


I got a new web publishing program that emulates Frontpage, so thank god I will be able to get this bear together. I will have to rework the pages, sit down and make a grand plan, figure out how to tie in the archives, but but but it is all a good thing. I just wish I had someone to sit next to me wiht a big sheet of paper and sharpies making flow charts, discussing navigation and design. I miss working with people face to face on projects.

Only half the committee showed up last night. C thinks she will be able to do services in April, figuring that T will die sometime in March.... but we are planning for services all through April anyway, maybe she just needs to think she will be able to carry on in April, but I do not want her to feel likke she has to, we will figure something out. The congregation has been very supportive of our services. Some great ones on the way. I am leading March 12 and 19 so I need to get myself organized.

There's something special about the secret garden. I don't think it's got anything to do with the toadstools, though one can never quite tell what might be under them. I don't think it's anything to do with the old two seater that has lichen growing all over it and spiders nesting in each slatted corner. It can't be the fangipani because that finished flowering a little while ago, same with the Julie Brisson. It can't be because of the weeds, there's a few stunning looking weeds among the shrubs and trees. There's no frogs in the secret garden, no mice or wetas that I've seen. It won't be because of the six foot high wooden fence along the boundary, or the kikuyu grass covering the drain that slices the garden in half. Whatever it is that makes it special, it's wonderful to sit out there under the summer sunshine.

30-30

This 30 days gig is fun but a lot like work. I have enjoyed reading what
has been thrown out there. I love some of the shorter stuff whipped up
just before deadline. Seems like some of us are trying new poetry methods.
When this is over I'll look at mine and see what is worth throwing into
new poems for all our world to see. Soon it will be time for mindless beach
poetry. I look at this 30-30 thing as spring training.

I felt the tendrils wrap around my body before the dawn with pounding temples and a rising temperature. I hate being sick...too bored to sit still too exhausted to do anything of consequence. I have to rest today, drink tea and heal. The plan is Mt. Baker on Saturday...so here I sit trying to get better. I hate being sick.

somebody must have boiled the kettle when it was dry. i have dregs in the bottom of my decaf mug and they're not decaf dregs. now, i could understand the dregs if they were sediment in a wine bottle, or even tea leaves from a broken tea bag. but i draw the line at dregs in my decaf.

Those are the little bits of arsenic that didn't quite dissolve during the decaffeination process. No matter, though. If you've been drinking the stuff all along, you'll scarcely feel the difference.....now.
