limes should be easy
i mean . . . limes. they are everywhere online. they’re always pretty. they make you think of beaches and rum drinks. or gin drinks. or vodka drinks. or tequila drinks. it should be so easy to make an arrangement of limes and end up with something striking and pretty. nope. it’s not. this is what you get. i’m kinda tired now. think i’ll go home.

these humble cabbage leaves don’t want to draw attention to their spectacular magenta veins. it’s really just soooo tiring to be this beautiful. like i mean being in the people magazine 50 most beautiful vegetables list just means so many interviews. i just want to go be in a field somewhere outside of amsterdam just chilling with other cabbage leaves. like that would be soooo healing right now.

Oh, what a lovely start in the day to look at these beauties. Fluffy, dreamy, floating :o. And I liked your text. Wish they can chill as much as they like …

love at first sight
some compositions require a little patience and devotion before i fall in love with them. this one featured humble rutabagas singing their hearts out in brass tones, and i loved them from the start.

coins
i don’t know what these ghostly coins will buy me access to, but wherever that place is, i think i want to pay my entry fee.

plumb wore out
this is the end of a day during which steve and i halved and pitted a grocery bag full of plums the size of golf balls. we made jam, we made a tart, we ate them raw, we froze them, we made liqueur with everclear and liqueur with cognac. i am still not tired of the beauty of these irregular orbs with their gorgeous powdery bloom, but i am, nevertheless, ready for bed.
plums (probably mount royal variety)
Maryjo, the individual lime slices look a bit like stained glass windows, or seeded linen. I find them fascinating, I keep trying to look through them to something just beyond. Kind of like this moment politically and socially as those of us with white privilege look just beyond our experience.
