I need a little place in the sun sometimes

A visual of my little garden stoop:




Come summer, I will have so many tomatoes, greens, lemons and beans that I may set up a stand on the side of the road. Or invite friends over to share in my bounty, eating tomatoes over bread, drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil. Beans steamed immediately off the vine, with a dash of fresh lemon vinaigrette and accompanied by a glass of wine and conversation. Dessert of sweet strawberries and whipped cream. A taste of heaven. A respite from the brokenness of this life.

Lovely

She's not so usual

Tonight I was hurriedly getting ready to go out to listen to a rock and roll band and drink a few ale's, finishing dinner and scrubbing the dirt from under my nails. I realized that I probably smell like bacon and dirt, and then I thought "Surely that is some guys dream!". Then I laughed my butt off alone in my apartment and thought "hmmmm, crazy: not most guys dream.".
