Today has been an odd day, but not a bad one. Up early (for me) to dye Brandon's hair before his con went well - the colour came out perfect, and he's very happy. I hope the Brat Pack has a good time.
I then mopped the floor - mmm clean.

Jason's mother paid for us to fix up the BBQ we were given free. It was a rusty, grease encrusted pit...now it's a clean, humming machine with a new burner and new lava-rocks. I'm happy to have it - it means cooking outside on the BBQ instead of heating up the kitchen crazy bad. Jason was happy to putter with it.

Weeded my garden - my nasturtiums are coming up great. :) Looking forward to salad with blossoms in August. I cleaned out our porch, and got rid of so much clutter. Jason's gonna put up a bookshelf in there, and and file most of our free-floating papers later, so this too will make me very happy.

Having a garage to store things in really really really helps. :D
We got the old desk out of the yard and into the garage, so now it looks even MORE like a real yard. I wish I could get Clint to clean up all the remnants left in the yard, but for now I'm pretty damn content. It's so clean I could have people come camp in it if they wanted to visit. It's so clean we could spread out a bunch of blankets and have a great day outside in the shade of the big maple. It's so clean it feels like a green space, instead of a craphole. I don't feel like white trash anymore.

I'm about to go out and get some apple blossoms. Jason's grilling dinner and reading a book. My yard looks great. I have a comfy place to sit under my tree by my outdoor altar, and just enjoy it. I'm in-tune with my home for the first time in a long time, and it just feels really really good.

I'm going to try to be productive with the rest of the weekend, too. I have some pendants to make, some plates to get some paint on, my signs to get printed for C-ACE, and I'm still trying to track down a graphic for Other Jeff.

Happy May 2-4, folks. :)

Joy, Morg. I'm so happy for you... must feel good to have your own space again outdoors! I'm off camping in the rain, so have a good weekend.
One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
