mm's day off......

ok, so.....i lounged in my pajamas til nearly noon.....watering flowers from the bath water, watching wimbledon tennis, and doing a bit of laundry.....i am laundering/repairing the cushion covers for the sofa that the eldest is borrowing from grandma.....and rather than using the dryer...which might shrink them...i arranged them on the deck to dry......and then i read from a collection of m.f.k. fisher's journal entries......which she edited herself for publication after her death......these are blog-worthy pieces.....at one point she mentions (around 1933) that she is trying to read ulysses......but got bogged down around page 27 or so.......i laughed out loud, given that i am reading m.f.k. fisher as a respite from james joyce......and then......i rode 22 miles on the back of the tandem with my beloved.....most of the wednesday night crowd had better things to do, but the night was....adequate...a bit breezy....seemed like there were headwinds coning and going....and we even came back into town past the 1.45 million dollar house on maple......just to gawk......and last but not least we went to a lawn party, where upon we met an around the corner neighbor that we'd never before met...it is regrettable that i do not have the rest of the week off....because i could so enjoy the leisurely pace of this day....every day......
