Sunshine sleep

I am fixin' to take a blanket and book and water cup to the glider and read. A glider is like a swing, but it glides. I haven't read on the glider yet. Last week I tested its suitability by sitting on it a spell. I think the reading venture will be successful, so long as I don't get heat stroke. Whole nother pot o' worms.

Neil and I both got new contacts recently. Yesterday Neil moved a plant from the back room to the front room. It has leaves that resemble elephant ears. The veins are yellow and on some leaf parts they are red. I'm not sure it the red means that they are happy or unhappy. Neil said the plant clearly is dying and needs more light. I hope the new positioning is good for the plant. Today, Day 1, it looks sort of wilty on the ends and perky in the middle.

Soon we'll put the wedding pics online in a better format. Perhaps flickr. Recently I read The Accidental Tourist. Good book and it probably would be a useful read for anyone in grief. Also I read Bergdorf Blondes. Fair, and it probably would be a useful read for anyone who mistakenly has personal criteria for when it is and isn't OK to take a PJ. PJs are always OK.

I am thinking about making basmati and lentils tonight. My friend Anne said she just had that in L.A. and it was really good. Maybe I could add onions and cumin ... and potatoes? Are potatoes good in a crock pot-type rice cooker? Bye.
