Yesterday was Daniel's and my (is that the correct way to write those possessives?) 6 month anniversary! :) We went to dinner with Christi at Gemma's Italian Restaurant, and had yummy crab cakes with 'red curry mayo' and pizza (with figs!)--at least, christi and i had pizza--daniel had salmon, and everything was just delicious! daniel has also ordered me some beautiful earrings from a scottish artist on etsy...silver flowers with emerald centers. they're on their way! there will be photos. :) for daniel, i ordered the "complicated bicycle" print by marc johns, pictured above--and made the accompanying 'potato man' feltie. complete with ice cream cone. marc johns is a canadian artist that christi likes (she introduced me to "complicated bicycle") and i think my favorite thing about ordering his print is that it is a very positive experience--by which i mean, the 'order confirmation' email said, "You are terrific!" and the postcard that came with the print said, "you are really outstanding"--which is just nice :) his website is: www.marcjohns.com
ah, just realized the photos are all kinds of out-of-order...the second and third are from walking along riverside with daniel this afternoon. HOW WONDERfuL IS SPRING?!?!?! shorts! tshirts! colors! sunnnnnnnn! and no longer do i have to be jealous of all the happy hand-in-hand couples...! i think i am now the happiest of them all :)
and that spider, is just a crazy spider that spun down from our ceiling to the table to the chair and--those fangs look poisonous! you know there are. i have faced venemous death in the face. raowr.
oh, and because i am getting pressed for time i decided to write a haiku (a trick i learned back in 10th grade and am NOT, NOT proud of. i realize it is not a cop-out poetic form. no. but...this is not a blog for too-serious poetry anyway, so...sigh)--anyway, i looked up info about writing them because i couldn't remember the correct syllable count (5-7-5)--and learned from the article that there are actually two parts to the haiku, the "phrase" and the "fragment". "One line is the fragment and the other two lines combine grammatically to become the phrase. Without this combining the two lines together the haiku will sound 'choppy' as the voice drops at the end of each line." from 'How to Write a Haiku Poem'-wikiHow.
so, with that in mind, here is my attempt:
Yellower than sun
Blossoms gather as you rest
Beneath the spring tree
