I didn't eat a spider last night!
If you're not on facebook and didn't see my horrifying news, the other night I stepped in dog feces in sandals, a pine needle flew into my eye and stabbed it and then I drank some wine and almost swallowed a spider that had fallen into it before spitting it out. A SPIDER! Vann tried to tell me it was a piece of a grape so I wouldn't freak out too much. Nice try.
Last night was much better. Have you bought those marinated eggplants and zucchinis from Trader Joes? They're delicious. I baked those and made some mushroom and parmesan polenta for dinner last night. I paired it with a very fine cabernet from Trader Joes. Yes, that one.
Some of our figs are ready and they don't seem happy about it.
I went to the library yesterday and I am reading the book that I said I'd only read if it was sitting on a shelf on the library and I didn't have to request it online. I did the self checkout too and made it out of the library without anyone seeing me with it. It is SO bad. There is very liberal use of the word "murmur", which I hate and a lot of "she looked up at him through her lashes", and lots of "groaning" in various verb tenses.

Garden party
The skies were so dark in Tahoe Park today and it rained for most of the day and even thundered (which was perfectly timed to the three hours I spent looking at health insurance plans and getting my cracked windshield claim sorted (wah, wah, wahhhhhh)). Our garden is so green and all the plants are blooming. We haven't planted any tomato plants yet. Is it too late? I don't think so.
I used to hate roses because I'd only known the flower shop variety until I moved to California.

You can never have too many lavender plants.

This rose smells exactly like you think a rose would. Delicious.
Forsythia (right?)
