I am better at buying plants.

May 31, 2008
It is nearly summer and I haven’t worn anything in my summer stash in two summers because I was largish last summer and, well, a girl needs some new duds. I was running a work errand on foot yesterday and bug is with her papa on Fridays so I decided to pop into a downtown store. It may sound strange but until like last year I actually shopped in the hip part with music like Black Eyed Peas and Christina … Continue reading I am better at buying plants. →

my vote is for Obama

May 29, 2008
It is really exciting that the Montana primary MATTERS for the first time in my voting life. I mean, I always vote but it is usually rather obsolete by the time it gets down to Montana, Puerto Rico and South Dakota. Get yer blank t shirts ready to be spiffed! There is a rally in Caras Park in Missoula this Saturday from 2-5pm. If you bring a t shirt and a contribution to the Obama campaign, my friend Elizabeth will … Continue reading my vote is for Obama →

five summers ago

May 20, 2008
I found these pictures of my garden that I made out of rock hard, dog-compacted, neglected soil inhabited by previous dope-dealing renters of my home. The entire yard (two city lots) was concrete-like dirt with dandelions. I dug the entire front and back yard (did I mention it was two city lots?) by hand. Just me and shovel and a whole lotta determination. I got kinda sappy and even a bit teary when I found these photos. In 2003, Andy … Continue reading five summers ago →

each wtih their own personality

May 10, 2008
The super model onions are all lined up and ready for the catwalk: The ambitious peas reach their long, skinny arms for security: The feminine rhubarb’s dark, wavy locks modestly conceal her deep red tissue: The cheerleader arugula stands crisp and preppy with her pom poms: The sophisticated and brooding mesclun mix carelessly sunbathes: The meditative beets have decided it’s time to get on with the sun salutations: The radishes spread their heart-shaped shoulders, readying themselves to catch a tiny … Continue reading each wtih their own personality →
