Memorial Day Weekend Ease

Friday, barbecue and bonfire (two fires going at once), dogs, friends, kids, toasting marshmallows....Saturday, power wash patio and adirondack chairs, movie...Sunday, power wash back of house, trip to nursery with Karla, love the man in the wheelchair--he is so clever, knows everything there is to know about every plant on the lot, and he is uncannily there when you need him...gardening, dinner and bonfire at neighbor's; Monday morning, ahhh....down time under the umbrella, breakfast, NY Times crossword, how much better than diet Coke is real Coke, barbecue in my woods, Amy back from Tangier, toured the Casbah, Bubba burgers and drumsticks marinated in Stubb's Chicken Marinade...asked Jesse if the color of his new bedroom is the color of the sky...told the story of William S. Burroughs serving a plate of razor blades and light bulbs to his guests for appetizers....heh heh...how happy I am to sit among my trees, look up, feel the breeze...remember when he planted these....
