Cooking

This is Wilson cooking on April the 30th. It's not that great a picture, but I like all the yellows, and I especially like that he is cooking for me. I love when people cook for me, and I love cooking for others. Mmmmmm.

Rhubarb

Emily made some strawberry rhubarb pie, in spite of a bit of a fear of rhubarb. "Vegetable pie?" She asked. "And isn't rhubarb poisonous?" she added suspiciously. After I promised her she could beat me up if I poisoned her, we decided to make it.

I love my home.

Emily and Kevin are home for the weekend, for my birthday, and just generally to visit. They make me so happy. I was literally bouncing with anticipation the day they were going to show up, which was Wednesday night.


This afternoon we gave the litter of current foster kittens a bath. They are all so fluffy and precious, but they smelled pretty bad.

Predictably, Kevin was taking pictures. Since I had also decided to take pictures (kittens!) we were getting in each other's way whenever we saw the same good idea. It makes me smile. Kevin's camera is such a part of him, and it couldn't get in my way if he weren't hanging out with Emily and I in our bathroom, so it is obviously a positive thing.

I love them.

Food

Here are some pictures I have taken of food.










I really like food.

Sunfowers

I bought some sunflowers to try to brighten up my room. My basement. It doesn't really get any sunlight. Unfortunately, the sunflowers don't help; my room was already so colorful. I mean I have a huge brightly colored painting on the wall, so the flowers were just a dying drop in the bucket.



It's so unfortunate that I decided to move to a place without sunlight, because I can never get a good picture inside. Among other reasons, like the effect on my mood. Sunflowers are so pretty. But I buy them because they are the cheapest flowers at the supermarket. So cheap, so pretty. I probably wont keep buying flowers like I planned originally, because my room is bright enough without them.

BUGS!

I really like taking pictures of bugs. I love their colors, and they are always so flighty that I feel proud of myself.

I don't know what to talk about. It's been so pretty and rainy. I haven't had much time to spend around people, but have been talking to people who aren't here, on the internet, such as Fawn and Fiona. Two special and beautiful women who lack the ability to teleport. And I sent a letter to another such qualifiable woman, whose name I wont mention in case she might get surprised by it. The ink on the envelope is permanent, but I'm not sure about the letter itself, so I hope if doesn't get too wet.

I have a house. Also- Lasagna.

here is my beautiful Wilson, ready to walk with me to a beautiful fall wonderland, where we could live happily, basking in the warm sunset and swimming in the river.

But we didn't walk through that window, didn't take that route, because I feel compelled to get this amazing education.
















But I do have Wilson, and I do have a place to live. I also have magic lasagna making powers. Anyone who has talked to me in the past week has probably heard all the want to hear about lasagna.


Here is lasagna-eating. Nom.
I set up my bed space to dry some roses, so that when I got Wilson out here there would be dried roses above the bed. They're in a vase now.

Too bad to those of you tired of hearing about my lasagna. It was SO GOOOOD. And lasted me for almost a week, so I should definitely make it again sometime.
Why did I make it? The ricotta was on sale and I needed to use the spinach and some ground beef. So I should make it again soon.

Here is my apt while I was moving in. COLOR!

Also. I have too much salt.
