Lucha VaVoom!

I highly recommend checking out Lucha VaVoom! Some friends and I had ringside seats last week and it was such a wonderful evening of entertainment. Comedians, Mexican Wrestling, and Burlesque!

They have shows in a few cities.... keep your eye on their schedule and prepare yourself....

fruiting begins

My first cucumber.

My second.

This sweet hummingbird landed on the cage as I was photographing the cucumbers. Sadly I wasn't able to change the focus before it flew away. But such a magic moment while it lasted.

The Early Girls.

I believe these are beans... but I honestly can't remember! Any thoughts?!

Rilke on Marriage...

(dedicating this post to all of this year's couples gettin' hitched)

The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.

my enemy has no name

other than SKUNK! And this evening, I realized that there are at least two of them digging around my garden and in my containers. Scouring the internet for advice has so far only brought about the suggestion of sprinkling chili powder about.

In the meantime, I'm accepting name suggestions for the little buggers.

Comment away on all accounts.

Working at the studio office today and am dreaming of a real writing hideaway. Any of these would do just fine:





I *should* post photo credits, but I can't remember where I originally found these.
