Not too lively today…

by | Aug 5, 2011 | Journal

I think it’s the requisite number of days for aches [three days, usually, for an injury to be at its sorest] since I tried to do a downhill faceplant with the pond filter in hand. There is not a place I don’t ache. Only one small bruise…but one hip...

by | Aug 4, 2011 | Journal

She didn’t make me understand it was going to be red. That was a surprise. But it’s looking good. It’s actually quieter than the white. And we were always going to paint the door red like the bridge. So it will all match; and a red rim around the...
