Musical Moon with Peas and Roses

[wyld_dandelyon]

One of the nice things about this new computer is the bouncing bubbles screen saver. The virtual bubbles are see-through (in case you haven't seen this screen saver) so you can still see whatever was onscreen--even read it-- through the bubbles. It's relaxing and almost mesmerizing.

I do keep forgetting the clock doesn't update while the screen saver is on.

I never got a vegetable garden in this year, between wasting time on the garage and the many cold or wet days we had this spring. So I've been missing out on my fresh peas. However, my friend Ithiriel did get her garden in, and harvested too many peas for her and filkart  to eat today, so when they came over to do music, I was gifted with fresh peas.  Now I have snacks for tomorrow, assuming I don't forget they're in the 'fridge and leave for work without them. 

Oh--and My Angel made french toast out of the current loaf of safe-bread, which worked MUCH better than making a roast beef sandwich with it did.  The Sami's  bread was much better for that, but I'm all out of it and haven't figured out where to buy it if The Nutman isn't selling in my work building this week.  I can have the other half of the batch for breakfast--and thank goodness real maple syrup is safe food for me!!!

And best of all, my voice appears to have finally recovered from the reaction to the out-gassing new carpets in the hotel where Duckon was held.  Maybe my feet will soon stop being so swollen.

Overall, it's been a pretty good day.

This weekend:  Muse Fusion over at torn_world . 

And next week, in honor of the crowdfunding  community being in LJ's spotlight, I plan to do a card draw, and am contemplating whether I have something new and interesting to say about Busking in Cyberland. 

So if anyone wants to share comments or questions about online busking, comments on what you'd like to see me writing, or suggestions for what deck(s) to use in addition to Rai Kunabei's disks, please, feel free to share.

And if not--what's good in your life during this fine full moon?

My mother used to plant peas and pole beans together, so the shade would help the peas produce for another week or so.

They're in a box? If they're still green and healthy, bring them into the air conditioning! Take them out at dusk long enough to let the bees fertilize them, and you might have peas for weeks longer.

Maybe I should try that some day!

Air conditioning? Don't I wish!

The only AC in our house is a small window unit in the bedroom--Thank all the gods for that, or we'd die. No room in there for plants. We mobile organisms must step carefully during the night, as it is.

Does sound like a peasible idea, though. HAH!

Well, you mentioned the AC in the bedroom above; too bad that room is too small to try out my idea! I'd have loved to hear a report on how well it worked.

Oh, yes. Nothing wrong with the idea. I'm just hot and wilted-feeling already; and not looking forward to the next couple of days with a forecast of 115 degree heat index. I think Cody-dog, Tripper-kitty, and I will have to loll about in the crowded bedroom this afternoon. Maybe a tv tray and little chair and my laptop could get squeezed in.

I muttered for summer not too long ago. Ma Nature sure can get uppity, can't she?
