  • I'm at work on my lunch break and thought I would get a few minutes in with writing and reading the work of friends. It's a little overcast outside. Massachusetts and southern Vermont are getting the rain we are missing. If we don't receive some wetness from the sky, I will have to supplement with the hose. The onions like to stay moist.  I think the beans need a little more moisture to make germination happen. My peas are climbing the fence.  I am anxious to see cucumber seedlings push their way through the soil. I am anxious to leave work and start my weekend of garden gazing.

    I'm giving a massage tomorrow.  It's been about six months since the last one I gave.  Other than a little hands on work with a couple of friends, done on the fly. I've got a trade going with Erika, who cuts my hair. She gave me a wonderful facial about a month ago.  Now it's my turn to reciprocate. I'm looking forward to the care, though lugging my table up her stairs will be a bit of a bear.   If my body does well with the work, I may consider doing a little more. It's an exciting possibility. For one, it means I've recovered my health enough to do the work. For two (for two?!?) it may give me a bit of hand's on caregiving that would be a welcome change from the primarily phone based work I do for my employer.

    Blessings abound
