Ming and I rearranged some stuff in the living room and created way more space.  It feels good psychologically.  It’s been a hard few weeks.  I have a friend who is a rambler.  I mean a traveler.  He is passing through Sac soon, and we might get to see him, my first time meeting him… Read More »

two free tomatoes etc

Today we had to be out all day because of work on our landing and stairs.  Various and wondersome things happened, while we were out, but I wasn’t able to come home to document them, so they are lost to the winds of time.  Well, I gave a dollar to someone needing bus money near… Read More »

There’s the meadow part of the farm, with shed, greenhouse, scarecrow, and Blade the cat. There’s Catharine’s House, the house we stayed at and where we ate together. There are our hosts, Pegasus and Chelsea. And here are us four, photo photoshopped by Pegasus to include all of us.

The other day we were walking by a post office in Berkeley that’s going to be closed, and Ming’s son J said mail is dead.  “Noooo!” Ming said.  As you may know, mail is my life.  Or much of it. Ming is helping a friend with her garden, and I think I’ll start binding gardening… Read More »

gratitude journaling

Today I tutored my learner.  He’s thinking about moving to Washington state.  But I don’t think he will.  We brought him Asian pears.  We picked some this morning early at our community garden. And I went to another support group meeting at my new clinic.  This one was not as wonderful as yesterday’s, but I… Read More »

food news and support

Today we ate a lot of vegan Ethiopian food for lunch thanks to a friend who bought us some $10 restaurant.com gift certificates.  I like the lentils best! Yesterday I baked some vegan peanutbutter oatmeal cookies.  They are so delicious!  http://www.theppk.com/2008/10/oatmeal-peanut-butter-cookies  We didn’t have any tofu, so I used two flax eggs instead. Today I… Read More »
