1. My backyard transformation is done, and it staggers me every time I look at it.
2. Master Danger now has a border fence to keep him from the property fence, and can play safely even if the neighbor dogs are out and barking. LOVE.
3. A stone wall/privacy screen in the back of the yard will be getting its own sign (once I make it): "Jim's wall," in memory of my darling dad. He would have loved the rocks in the wall so much.
4. It might rain the next two or three days, which would be helpful in making the new plants be at home. (And, er, would mean I wouldn't have to water those days.)
5. Last night, weary, I put on an old Carly Simon album and coloured a couple of images in my Vogue Goes Pop colouring book, which also reminded me that I bought the book at the V&A.
6. Two months til I'm back in London. Maybe I should book for the Balenciaga exhibit at the V&A, now that I'm thinking of it...
7. And also Rachel Whiteread and the the Impressionists in London exhibition. (Guilty secret: I don't really connect to Impressionists, but maybe this would change my mind like the Pre-Raphaelite exhibit did.)
8. F&M Russian Caravan iced tea with local honey and a slice of lemon.
To Lift Up:
I have only been to Sonoma once, but I so loved it and have been living there creatively ever since. The horrible fires across Northern California have hurt so many, and the rebuilding will be exhausting. I lift up those who fight the fires and those who will recover from them.
Hurricane Ophelia hitting Ireland as an extra-tropical system -- what the actual hell, world. I lift up those who will be battered by the gale, and hope for the best.
Still thinking about those affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria....
May you all have a great start to your week!
