Jardin!

oh MAN my life is not awful! Not that often, I mean, there are the occasional heavy boots, but NOT TODAY! Or YESTERDAY! Or hopefully tomorrow!
So today I talked to the lady at Whatcom CC RE: creative writing, and the nub and gist of the thing is that I am 3rd on the waiting list and will most likely get in. I went to Whatcom and filled out all necesary paperwork and saw all necesary people and baddabing baddaboom, there you go.
After that I loafed around on the interweb for a while and that made me a little blue because it just does. So I decided that, if the day was to saved from an utterly crap internet slump, endorphins were desperately needed. So I went on a run on this nice trail that goes along the water and spits you out in Fairhaven, an old and totes hip/groovy neighborhood a couple of miles south of Myrtle Street.
The running itself is fantastic and the scenery is top shelf-- the run was perfection but for the idiocy of my exercise garments and my ipod being full of things that I a. don't like or b. don't want to run to. Songs with "lullaby" in the title, for example. Hopefully all problems that can be solved.
The best part of the day was the GARDEN SPOT!!! It's a nursery not too too far away where I got, 3 terra cotta pots of varying sizes, 1 white wire hanging basket, and herbies!
2 Sweet basils
1 Red Ruffle Basil
1 Italian Oregano
2 Chives
1 Pineapple Mint
1 Golden Variagated Sage
approximately a googolplex baby leeks
I planted the biggest pot with as many leek babies as I could stuff in and still had to dig a little row in the sod to handle the overflow. I am going to get a couple more pots and some chard + dino kale seeds because I think it is not too late to direct seed them. The weather has been staying really nice and sunny so they should be OK.
Now it is time to take care of some serious business and finish the GD college applications! Freakaleek why can't they just edit their GD selves? I'm just saying.
Wish me luck (and no distractions)!
hugs to everybody,
Franny
