I got back from Montreal on Thursday. That was a week of reading and hanging out with [personal profile] rysmiel and enjoying the flowers in passing.

Yesterday I did very little, because I needed the rest: what I did do was cut a few stems of lily of the valley and put them in the tiny red and black vase my mother gave me. Growing up, we never used it for anything but lily of the valley; in almost thirty years in Inwood and Bellevue, it was a pretty knick-knack. This morning, I walked into my kitchen and smelled lily of the valley.

The second time I went out yesterday was to harvest lettuce. I cut an entire small green lettuce, and picked leaves from some of the red lettuces, and we had a very fresh salad for dinner last night.

Then I decided I needed more lettuces (after all, that only left ten), so [personal profile] cattitude and I have been at the garden center again. It's late for planting lettuce, but I got another little six-pack of green butterhead lettuces, along with a half dozen marigolds to keep the tomatoes company, and some tiny basil plants because the ones I put into the planter in back don't look well.

I also did my exercises this morning, having skipped most of them while I was on vacation. (We walked quite a bit, at least.) I also have some proofreading work to do, but I may let that wait for tomorrow.
