in rainbows, in the rain

I was cold and soaked to the bone but hooray for Radiohead!

barbeque night

Grilled vegetables and mushrooms with korean barbeque sauce, lemon juice and cilantro and roasted sweet potatos . . . yum!

I contemplated on making lemon meringue pie for dessert but my laziness got the best of me. So instead of the pie I am feasting on gross quantities of chocolate truffles. The best part is that it melted a bit (it has been very warm the last couple of days) and I'm eating all this gooey goodness with a spoon. This is like licking chocolate sauce off a bowl without having to bake anything!

There's nothing like the rain that brings out my inner Martha.

And yes, I even picked mint leaves to make fresh tea!

things I see in the backyard

Perhaps
it is the slightest buzzing
of dragonfly wings

or the quiet dance
of mint leaves

but
there is something
about this summer
that enchants,

sunset
after
sunset
after
sunset.

Or maybe
it is the balmy heat
that whispers
promises
of all that is familiar.

Home.
