Two More Shows
Counting the hours at this point until I am off work for 3 days in a row and celebrating my 28th birthday with friends. Dinner in town with a few of them on Monday then Tuesday and Wednesday I will be in the Monterey Bay area. Two more nights of shows. Of course Sunday is what we term an ‘outside’ rental which means lots of complications and frustration. Some people just don’t know how to put on a show! Nice that this is how I am to finish out my work week.
I have been trying to settle into my place a bit more. Getting the office/craft/library area set up. Working on a cozy little back balcony/patio area. I set the fountain up the other day…the one that I have drug across the United States and back to survive with minimal damage. A little frustrated with the roomie at the moment. She is a bit on the lazy side and has a more loose definition of ‘clean’ than I do, but these aren’t things that I can’t talk
with her about and come to some sort of compromise on.
I was getting a nice little Jamba pick-me-up this afternoon before work, walking through the Davis Commons area and I was hit with a wall of one of the sweetest smells I have ever enjoyed. Jasmine is full in bloom and Davis is not in short supply of this plant. The breeze is warm and light, carrying that rich smell, kind of makes all your worries go away in one deep breath, even if you have to stand in line with a bunch of undergrad twits.
Looking to buy this lovely plant myself which without serious protection, doesn’t survive Pacific Northwest winters but heartily flourishes here in sunny central/northern California. I will make sure to write another blog, after the plant has taken off, wrapping itself around the porch rails, with the water happily gurgling in the background from my fountain, me enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon and reading a very good book nestled deep
into a comfortable wicker patio chair.
