It is the last hour of daylight, and it is Sunday. Just got in from my journey out and about the town, including the Farmers' Market, stopping in on a Green Party meeting, the Apple Mac Store, Whole Foods, the Gas station, and the Pet store. I am grateful that my body allowed me to do some much, and I am filled with lots of feelings.

"In you, I see the flowers I love so much
in the garden. Nature has smiled on you
to make this world beautiful!"

from one of my online greetings
up soon.


Today was a day out and about the big city.
I was so happy to get out.

I got some things up on my Jensen Tribute site before
I lett. Lots more to do with that, but it is saying some of the
things I want to say before moving on to other projects tomorrow.

You can see photos of Hidden Valley from my tour last week.
We can see the evolving Friends of Hidden Valley Project that is now taking shape.

The Farmers' Market was pretty uneventful.
I checked in with Joe the Farmer. All the Calli lillies
are opening really fast these days. The weather is changing
and Spring is here In San Diego. I took on of my "sniffer" roses to the market, an old fashioned intensely fragrant rose that does notlook that pretty but has much to say when you breathe it in. It stops everyone in their tracks.

There was an incredible flower in the front yard today,
an amazing flower. I do not know its name.
A picture is worth a thousand words. I will do by best
to get a photo up soon.

Scott was pulling some weeds when I left.
I shared the flower with him. Women remind me
of flowers--they are flowers.

It is Spring for sure, and my health is returning
and also my libido.

I have been having all kinds of thoughts today,
some even of xxx, my former.

I had thoughts to break my fast with her,
and give her a call, or maybe send a card,
but what would I be opening up and why?

Not too much has changed.
I am still feeling very attracted to her.
I am in no space to just be friends,
and especially settle for a friendship that
disallows regular phone contact or physical
get togethers. I wonder if she has any desire
to see me? I guess if I sent her a card,
she would let me know.

On the other hand, am I going to be
anticipating some response.

I have enough on my mind.

I wonder how I got myself into a place of
liiving in such a tiny world of intimate contact
with others--intimate contact of any kind in the
physical world.

The Enchanted Gardener who is the life of the party
at conferences is more the hermit at home.

I have not put energy into creating any kind of local
garden club.

I have few friendships now locally. Most people I know
live all over the country.

The relationships with the housemates are decent
and kind, and yet whenever you live with others,
energy issues will come up.

Here, to an extent, I am the manager. It is one more
energy outlay that presses me to the limits and asks
more than I can give to do the job well many times.

The Green Party meeting was a place to take a nap,
or so it turned out. I made an announcement at the end
and showed a farm fresh lettuce. I passed around some
sweet peas. This was the first meeting I have attended.
I like the concepts of the Green Party, and the co-owners of the house here have been wanting me to get active.
They are very active up in Northern California.

I then stopped at the Apple Store, hoping to pick up a
new power plug. Mne appears to be shorted out.
They wanted $76.00. Way too much.

I stopped at Home Depot to see if some electrical tape
might do the job of mending the cord. I gave some Sweet Peas to a sweet lady who helped me. Good Customer Service. She liked the flowers.

The gas station was the most amazing stop of all.
One lady cut right in front of me and pulled into the spot
where I had been waiting. I did not say anything.

No one said anything. No eye contact. No talking between people. No numan interaction at all. Just pump and pay.
One man who was pumping in front of me in the opposite direction pulled out my way. He was fiercely angry and threw
a wet paper towel on the ground. I could not tell if it was something I did. Just typical Mercury Retrograde stuff.

My last stop was the Pet Store. I wanted to get some
crickets for my Fire Belly frogs. The friendliest customer
you would ever want to meet saw the crichets and poured out the prettiest smile and eyes in my direction.

She asked about the crickets.

They she asked for what she wanted--Anti Mating Spray.

Her two little dogs are going round and round. The maltise
boy cannot keep his nose out of the little girl dog.

The lady behind the counter gave me more than my share of baby crickets, and an extra long moment of eye contact in return from the eye contact I gave her.. She was working a crossword puzzle in the atmosphere of much stench.
She wished me a good day after she gave me the frog
food.

I could not help but follow the two women over to the Anti-Mating Spray sales shelf.

The customer explained the situation plainly. There was a discussion about who got sprayed.

It turns out you spray the woman.

Basically--all in all- it was a great day.
I am so happy to report that I was able to do
all this with the cooperation of my bowel--
no uncontrollable diarrhea...just a few stops
at bathrooms along the way that worked out
great. My energy is really picking up and I
am so grateful. I am feeling tired from overwork,
but I am intensely grateful to be feeling so alive.

Not sure what kind of spray I need right now.

Your Enchanted Gardener,
Leslie
