So issue of Forbidden Fruit zine launched and I am sitting back awaiting the continued chirping of crickets. If you missed the artwork in a format larger than a bookplate, check my previous post.
I did a run around with the eldest yesterday ~ picking ups bedding and such for her dormroom. She leaves to attend uni soon ~ and that just feels weird. It's not weird that she's leaving home...because she really isn't doing that yet. The school is walking distance from the house, BUT we felt it important that the emmerse herself in the experience of having to room with a stranger so out the door she is shoved.
I am looking forward to a school year that doesn't involve the daily father/daughter confrontations about the boyfriend.
Today I'm playing at some parging and... *groans*...I can't really put it off any longer...I need to deal with the fugly gardens. I have prefered to sit at the pc, listening to episodes of THIS AMERICAN LIFE and ripping seams.... telling myself that I'm being productive, but there is only so much ignoring of the yard a person can do and I need to suck it up and just DEAL with it before the stuff out there grows so wild it eats a small child
Speaking of things that grow... here is the second batch of sunny florals :)
cheerful
*sniffs*
My, what tremendous amounts of pollen those sunflowers give off! The pictures are beautiful though. Your mad composition skillz have improved so much :)
Congrats to your eldest on making taking the first steps to independence. Having her live so close to home yet out on her own is a great idea. Is she excited?
OH LORDY the pollen....it's EVERYWHERE!
I have NEVER seen a flower give off the stuff like sunflowers. I have to wipe off my kitchen counter every day...TWICE!
I would take them outside and SHAKE the vase to dislodge some of it before taking photos...and still it comes. I lie under the flowers, on my back...the brereze shakes them or one is knocked by my wrist and I am blowing pollen out of my camera lense or worse trying to get it out of my eyes. It's HUGE...it's GRITTY....it's UNRELENTING!
Ahhh yes...and Ali off to uni in little over a week. THANK HEAVENS ....I will enjoy the lack of hormonal flare-ups between the Virgos...gah. Oh and yes...she is very excited. Nice thing about being close if that she knows the hood ~ the shops, the buses, everything I didn't when I came here 23 years ago ....and if she doesn't like the laundry facilities there she can take it home and do it ~ it's kind of a wussy way to do it but she is the one that wants to be close and oddly enough...Teh Bob...her sparing partner is happy too.
Problem is they are waaaaaaaaay too much alike. >D
I am sitting on pins and needles though...looking forward to Monday when Rach returns from Spain/Portugal. Daddy is going to flip....she got a brow piercing *mwahahahahah*....and will officially be the BAD CHILD now that Ali is turning 19 and moving off to school etc.
NO rest for the wicked worry wart man I say :P
