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 :)
