Leah’s taking Ava to Decorah this afternoon for a girls weekend, so I’ll be on my own until Sunday afternoon. What to do, what to do….
Tonight I’m going to have a little screening of International Blue Velvet, which is on loan from a friend. I’ve never seen it before, and everyone I’ve ever heard mention it says, “you have to see it,” so, I’m seeing it. Probably throw together some dinner with all the veggies I have from this week’s CSA share. How much do I love cabbage? We’ll find out.
I hope to get some biking done at some point, though it’ll have to get squeezed in between weeding the garden and mowing the lawn. Saturday evening I’m heading out to Simone’s Plain and Simple for dinner with a group of family and friends. I wish Ava could be along, because she’d love seeing all the goats and chickens on Simone’s farm. Maybe next year. If you’ve never been out to Simone’s for one of her pizza dinners before, get some friends together and GO (she does other dinners, too)! It’s a great time. Probably as close as you’ll get in Iowa to dining in the French countryside. It’s BYOB, so you can tote along a bottle of your favorite wine(s) to share.
Speaking of gardening, a new lily just opened up yesterday in the back bed. You can see it in the lower left-hand corner of the picture here. They’re nice. I hope they make it through the winter. You can also see the scabiosa over on the right. What a nasty name for such a pretty flower.
