Weekly Round-Up

The last two weeks I...

... went on a brief silent retreat.  It was a lovely three days!
.... worked on my current papier mache project.

... Went with Aunty M to see some Japanese fashion and eat crepes.  Always a good time!
.... Made some garden plans.

 He wants wavy lines and flowers.

I want straight lines and vegetables.

He wins, though, because as my mother pointed out (who generally thinks every idea my husband has is wonderful, but they are both usually right), it's easier to keep a wavy-line garden looking neat.  Straight and tidy plans show neglect much more quickly.

Mr. Precision sketched out the backyard layout on graph paper, neatly to scale, of course, and then we popped it inside one of those plastic paper protectors and used (and re-used) a white board erasable marker.

We're going to order from a heritage seed catalog so that we can try collecting seeds for next year.
