One really good thing that happened today was my friend got me and my other friend matching 50s-style red aprons. It made me happy, and it was nice to be thought of unexpectedly. It is red, a color I like very much. Another good thing was filling my car with flowers, planting those flowers, and going for a long run in the cool night. I don't have too many other anecdotes. I have been keeping my head down.

I am having a little bit of a hard time this week. The weekend set me out of my emotional orbit some. I've started having the same old nightmares.

I haven't forgotten my promise to tell stories from the beach, but the pictures have been stretched between my phone and camera, and I am just getting by. I will put them up eventually. As an offering, a few photo things from this weekend:
My big bad black cat.
Of the 15 varieties of native azaleas, my brother has collected 13.
He also gave me this: pulled out of the Bull Run River (of Battle of Bull Run fame, or Battle of Manassas if you're a yankee) back when we were teenagers. For my collection. Sugar quartz point, archaic period. Heavier and less balanced than my point, looks shiny-wet in a way that makes me think if I put it in my mouth, it would melt.
My people, in my brother's makeshift native plant nursery.
