TGIF

the herbs

Friday is my new favourite day.  Despite the fact that the sun is rapidly disappearing behind the grey clouds.  Rain is predicted.  Rain.  Again.   I do not need to rush in the morning.  I am a big fan of not rushing.

We are attempting to clone our tulip tree.

We are eating fresh local strawberries.  There are the best ones in years. 

I have my first mosquito bite.

My youth are still unemployed.

I desperately need to find an upholsterer.  A student who is studying the art of upholstery.  I have some solid, very fine furniture that needs recovering.  The quotes from the the larger companies have been astronomical.  I could take my family on another trip to Maui for the price they quoted.  Or buy a whole new set of furniture but I don't want to do that.   I have thought about trying to do it myself but I think that would be a disaster and my free time is precious.  

We are slowly finding our way into a summer routine.  Yeah for the weekend.
