Spring has arrived. Soon, the plants my sister and brother are sending me for my birthday will start arriving and I'll be able to put the compost to good use. They are sending me 3 butterfly bushes, 3 red latham raspberry bushes, and 6 oriental poppies. I'm very excited about gardening this year.
I haven't done any gardening since I rented the house in Columbia, Missouri and grew carrots out back. It was a very small house with a small yard, but it was a house with a yard and it was $185/month. Wow, that price seems great now, I couldn't rent a room for that around here these days. It's a different season here, in more ways than just not being winter anymore.
“Greetings! I am on the bus, sitting at the station in Buffalo, New York. As I crossed the border to the U.S., I saw them shooting off fireworks! I guess they were excited I was coming back!
The trip here to Buffalo was nice, that I got a got a ride from Aleriel and Cait, but I kind of... got... sick on the way. It wasn't very pleasant. We had to pull over on the side of the road, and then again at a rest stop, and it was kind of miserable. But I ended up feeling better, and was feeling pretty good by the time we actually got here. It wasn't that bad, and I'm very grateful to Aleriel and Cait for giving me a ride.
I did forget one thing, which is natural: I forgot my camera battery back in Saint Thomas. *chuckles* Of course; cant' leave ---- something. And I did a double check and a triple check, to see if I forgot anything. But, alas, the camera battery is just a little black flat thing, and I guess I just missed it. I noticed it when I pulled the camera out to take a picture, that it was lighter and it didn't have the battery in it, but I figured it was just in the bag... but, alas, not. I had forgotten it. So, I guess I will ask Amber if she can send it to me. I hate to be a pain, but...
She's been so nice, it was so great seeing here. I know she doesn't feel that the trip went well, sometimes, because, y'know, it was too hot to do much, but I enjoyed just being around her and meeting her, and it was really cool, and I had a lot of fun! And, as I said before, if I knew that the trip was going to be as hot as it was, I would have still gone. And the last two days weren't hot, and I got out several times. And I went into town, and looked around the shops, and, generally, I liked the area. It was pleasant, relaxing, and I feel like I got a much-needed break. And I got to meet Amber in the process, which was excellent and wonderful!
And, I'm heading back home, which is also good, because I get to see Lake, and Anthea, and John, and Mazzy, and Lia, and Jymi, and everyone! And, it'll be great! And, I will be home soon! I get at home at 9:45 in the morning, I will be sleeping on the bus. Just a straight stop from Buffalo to Boston, you know, a couple stops, but no changing the bus.
So, I guess... that's the post! And I will be back in Boston very soon!”
