Yesterday art therapy involved dance and other body movement / facial expression stuff where people were looking at me, and it was really hard. I’m eagerly anticipating March. We have a lot going on in March. But I want to honor this last day of February. Thanks, February.

mystery plant

Today I finally photographed this mystery plant that’s growing in our garden. Ming doesn’t remember it. Any ideas?

The mung dal turned out really delicious yesterday. It’s so good I wish we made more. But I think I want to make dal with red lentils next time and see which one Ming likes better. The kitchen faucet has started making a weird sound. Ming is chopping up a butternut squash for me so… Read More »
