• I've found a new figure to aspire to. She was a master gardener named Ruth Stout who lived to be nearly one hundred. hilarious lady. She'd probably laugh if she knew someone called her a lady. She was a very independent thinker who did whatever she wanted to do which includes nude gardening. 
• Humming (as well as Nettle Tea) reduces the pain of moontime cramps! :)
• Loved the moment when I said "possibly maybe" because that's what my explanation called for. I adore bjork and her lovely foreign way of phrasing things.
• I'm snowed in today. And so glad of it! The perfect excuse to eat rich food, take a long bath and read by the fire. I've also spent a good piece of time playing the guitar.  

• New Goal: If i'm 32, unmarried and childless i'd like to have Devendra Banharts babies. Because then I'd have gorgeous, strange and musically creative children. 
• My Kayla comes home from 18 months in West Virginia in less than a month! Cannot wait to have my best girl again! And to learn from her all of the skills she's learned from the grannies. Like crocheting. And for her to be reunited with her true love, Daniel, who is one of my dearest and truest friends on this earth. I Cannot even say how much I am truly excited for their love.
• The other day I caught Ruger, the cat with the expressive gestures and little boy voice, playing with a dead vole. It was huge! Have you ever seen a vole? We call Ruger the spartan. He's our best rodent hunter.
• I went to this "speed dating" activity last night. So funny. Mostly because there were too many boys and I ended up having to be in groups of 3 the whole time. I just told them not to worry, I'm really good at dating 2 boys at once ;) ...not really.. meeting so many new people was exhausting. I slept so soundly last night!
• I was reading Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo to my tiny sister today and there was a whole section from the perception of a toothpick (which held the spirit of a powerful ruler from another dimension). I really think the guy that wrote this book is such an imaginative writer! 
• Watching Lorna Doone tonight with my mother! Really looking forward to it! Once upon a time a boy I loved bought me a really beautiful copy of the book from the bookstore I love most in the world. Still the most beautiful book on my shelf. I love Lorna Doone.
