post-Buenos Aires Blues blues (June 4, 2007)

Today was a lousy day. Got home around 2 am, slept in, had unexpected equipment malfunctions, had additional unrelated experimental issues. Took a nap when I got home. Weeds in the garden. Typical post-exchange/workshop blues, but oh oh oh I love tango. The tango leads who went to Buenos Aires Blues were just lovely. Some of them gave me some really helpful pointers, and by the end of the weekend I was really feeling comfortable dancing tango. Sunday afternoon I danced one tango with Clint (from Atlanta) that was beautiful beyond words (and he thought it was awesome too!).

AND In the Garden...

My chamomile are flowering, the tritoma has way way more red-hot pokers sticking out of it than I expected, the Confederate rose is amazing, and my sea holly flowers are turning blue. Plus some of the flowers in my purple garden are blooming and looking beautiful; and the butterfly bush in the back is now massive -- it's as tall as the railing on my deck!

There were two mockingbirds using my front stoop railing as their sitting grounds when I got home today. I think they're nesting in one of the beastly Bartlet pear trees.

Less than a month to Australia, and I'm feeling that tenterhooks combination of excitement and nervousness.

That's the quick overview...
