farm morning

Such wonderful fruits can grow in the desert.  The apricots were so ripe, we ate them right away off the tree.  The few we bought turned to mush in the bag.  The peaches are delicious to the point of religious experience.  The long plums aren’t ready yet.  We found just a few of those trees… Read More »

tassel anxiety

I was reading about Turkish towels.  I hear they’re excellent because they’re thinner, dry faster, stay cleaner.  Sounds great.

me:  I need a vacation from your OCD. Ming:  Me too. me:  Let’s go! Ming:  Where should we go? me:  Sanetown. Ming:  Where’s that? me:  I don’t know.  I’ve never been there. [laughter] Yesterday with friend and sunflowers.
