What a beautiful wonderful stretch of sunny days it was. Thursday after work, I planted my garden. Some starts of Forellenschluss ("trout's back") lettuce, Graffiti Cauliflower, some purple rapa asian greens, and then some radish, carrot, and poppy seeds.
Friday I had a good morning volunteering at Brainworks, spent the afternoon lounging around with Michael, and then biked through Ballard neighborhoods admiring gardens and had a wonderful evening with Josephine walking around the forest behind Golden Gardens. Went to a comedy show at the Neptune which wasn't that great, then biked home with Michael after he was done working.
Saturday we made some biscuits and gravy for breakfast which we shared with Richard and Jourdan--breakfast sausage and biscuits from the U district farmer's market! Delicious! Lounged around all afternoon, I biked with Michael for a while when he headed to work, then went on home and relaxed the rest of the night.
But yesterday was the best day of all... Got off work at 10am since it was so slow, made some bacon + toast, went to the Fremont market where I saw lots of cool art and nice people. Pickled Okra serenaded passerbys while an adorable old lady danced ever so slowly with her daughter to the lively bluegrass music. In the antique section, "rhinestone cowboy" came on and I swear, the whole place burst into song just like in a movie. After the market, I biked to hang out with Jaime and make matzoh brei. Thank God I arrived to get the girl outside in the sun and out of her dark dungeon bedroom. Drank a couple of my dad's beers, then biked on home through the sunset and warm air, where Michael, Sarah, and Emma were BBQ-ing hot dogs and had set out a delicious cheese plate! AND other Emma stopped by and brought us chocolate-covered matzah with cranberries and walnuts. Yum!!
Sunny days put me in such a great mood. Especially biking around the city and seeing all the spring-blooming trees. This one's a Tulip tree/Magnolia. All over Seattle right now!
