a quiet saturday


Wake up to a surprisingly beautiful day.  So much rain yesterday it felt like it would never stop.

Pick up a few things at the Farmer’s Market, most notably small wild strawberries and the last heirloom tomato, on sale for the first time this season.  




I walk a few blocks along First Avenue where they are having a street fair.  Decide there is nothing I will find that I need, so I come home.

Finish reading The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud.  It’s a beautifully written book with little plot and a wow ending.  I think I write well until I read people who really do. 

Alexander makes chicken for dinner, one of his specialties.  Had I eaten it at 5:30 when he made it, I would have liked it a lot more than when I eat it three hours later after microwaving it for a couple of minutes.  I now fully understand the term rubbery chicken.

Alexander is going to a friend’s house and I ask (rather beg) him to let me take a picture.  He reluctantly agrees. I grab my camera and follow him out the door.
