A fun friend and I met for lunch this week, after which, she suggested that we hit the local arts place for their annual watercolor exhibit. I am so happy she did; the paintings were just what I needed to spur me into another interest here in my summertime ennui.
The next morning I went out to run the requisite two miles (for that triathlon thing next week!), and the clouds were gorgeous at 6:00 am. Yes, there was some lightning going on, and I left with the instructions to that Spouse o' Mine that he should come fetch me in the car if the lightning seemed near enough to whack me. (Happily, the storm cell moved onwards and eastern.) When I got back to the house, I took my camera and a car, and ventured out for photos of fun things that I might like to use as inspiration for some watercolor. I have not done much in this medium, and I have no instruction. But... here I go!
Last night that Spouse o' Mine and I ate lamb masala and some spinach paneer and some cool, cool cantelope. Tonight sees us having cod with coconut chutney and curried beetroots. (You can tell that I shopped at my Asian Mart this week, yes?) The beets and kale come from my special Darwinian Garden, which is indeed doing the Darwinian thing of late, (I am mowing weeds now, but that's OK), because the beets, kale, and collards are all standing tall and that's all I ask of them.
And that's all I have, this July summer evening. Ugh.
