she'll grow to love (the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall...)

i dreamed about shopping for planters and filling my balcony with a garden. so much green. (which is very on-point since i've been feeling shameful for not having done now that everyone i know is posting pictures of their tomatoes and zucchini on the internets...) so this feels like the right collection for this morning. (and i say 'this morning' knowing that it is after noon. because i let myself sleep in today. the kind of blurry hazy sleep in where you can't seem to crawl out of the blankets for hours and your one arm keeps going numb. fevered. so it is still morning to me. here with my coffee and eggs.)

sleeps

the parentals left yesterday evening. sigh. how i wish they were closer to here. but it was great to have them for the long long weekend, and there is an abundance of candy and chocolate (and potato) in my apartment now.

and after i left the parentals on the train to the airport, i went home and watched criminal minds. (which had drucilla from buffy and becky from californication!) and then tried to read but was SO TIRED that i went to bed instead. at 8:43pm.

{borrowed from here}

and i had wonderful dreams where wonderful things happened.
