My mind is on Maui and resting my weary bones by the warm trade winds of the Pacific. Of course we have plans of cycling, hiking, walking, and snorkeling to name just a few. I am going to take two days and do nothing but watch the wind blow, and a palms sway, while I read a book. What a fucking concept.
We're staying directly across from Larry Ellison's island, which always seems to be shrouded in clouds. No man is an island Lar. Sorry, could help myself.
There is an abundance of plant matter sprouting up all over the East Bay. Just in our little patch of the planet the Rosemary bushes are in full azure bloom. The pink jasmine is budding, Iris are popping out of the ground, and it's not even February yet. Nature is acutely confused right now, and rightfully so. This is Palm Springs California weather, not Northern California.
We have a bucket in the bathtub to catch shower water. And we have a bowl, and a two gallon Kelly Moore bucket in the kitchen to catch water for the plants out back. Just doing this alone will ensure that we have our green leaf garden in the spring. All the plants in the front of our home are drought tolerant, mostly succulents.
The mint is back in season also. Mint tea at 3:00.
Two recent foodie movies I watched were: Toast, and Today's Special. Toast is the better of the two, but I like Today's Special also. It tugs at the heart strings. Toast is based in a true story. Both are worth checking out.
That's it.
Life is what happens in between meals.
Peace,
Make Food/Not War
