Fish Emulsion Scored

The pressure's intense!

After learning of the seedbank, I optimistically bought three packets: a "dented" corn and two diff kinds of melons. 

The cantaloupes and Michelle's poppies

take up the two-foot-wide strip along the sidewalk.

It was a "good" day a few weeks ago when I hailed Andrea, the diagonal neighbor, and she agreed to let me plant along her driveway.

There's a huge lot where the Piggly Wiggly used to be and another 1/8 of an acre off Juan Tabo next to the tire place. Hauling water's gonna be a challenge. 

After the post-powerline wrangle the other day I wasn't sure if I was gonna get another chance. But I managed to get to the Wyoming Martz & score a gallon of fish emulsion 5-1-1. Plenty to do the back yard too. And a bunch of markers too, for embellishing cards.

Jessica's birthday was today.

Dying Alone

Here she is on Trust and the Unseen (1 of 3)

We'll celebrate Monday when she comes. She really liked The Light People and gifted me her personal, annotated, copy

so I got her We Survived the Night.

But, you know, a book is kinda dry, even for a writer/poet, so I grabbed a bag of chocolates. 

Not wanting to give her something that wasn't good, I got a bag for vetting. Michelle and I agreed they'll do.

That's Coveting Greaseburgers by Vince Distasio in the background. More of his work at iac2.com

Oh, yeah, lest I forget, Horacev Kephart: Writings from The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, has been one of the highlights of the month.

P.29

See the face at the front in the middle cloud?

The porch light is Andrea's. The corn'll be on this side of her truck.

To top it off I sent a request to a full body massuese. She offers late nite visits and has a lenient draping policy. Hope springeth eternal.
