Ok the bad news is that our cherry tree is sick and it looks like we will be getting a very small crop this year, but the good news is a new friend just told us we can pick buckets from hers in her back yard! but the bad news is i am overwhelmed by all the fruit there is to pick, want to go strawberry picking too, still need to get my beans stung up, and its hot and i don't want to think about canning fruit for next winter, but the good news is I am overwhelmed by all the fruit there is to pick and there are free greens in my garden and growing all over the city and my kitchen is clean after a SUPER busy weekend where I helped a bride have an awesome wedding and made some money, all while keeping other
commitments and having fun, but the hard thing is my to do list is now super long and I have lots of calls to make, dates and conflicts to think about, details to pin down and i don't know if i can get to them all, but the good news is that I have so many amazing friends, old and new, beautiful family, and people interested in the pink house and what i have to offer the world, people who feel comfortable with me, who share what is deep in their hearts with me, who want to work with me. The bad news yesterday was Andre fell off his bike and hurt his hand pretty badly and It kept him up much of the night and i couldn't get him to help with somethings i was counting on him for today, but the good news was he didn't get really badly hurt even though he fell in the middle of the street downtown and my family is healthy. The bad news was that i felt like i didn't have time to take my 9 year old to the beach, the good news is my friend SaSa is taking him right now and I have dinner marinating for Chuck to grill as I get ready to run off to teach a yoga class. The bad thing about last week was that the last of the peonies rained their petals down on the floor and we won't get to see or smell them again until next year, for some of us maybe never again and i have been wondering when I will dance my last dance ever, how most of us we will never know when our last anything will be, but now the day lilies are blooming and the air is perfect and I have few wonderful minutes to sit calmly in my yard and write and be thankful for everything.
