~ Chocolat, the book
I spent all day running so many errands, fortified with a book on cd and a big bottle of water. Catching up on all the ephemera that makes up gentle days ~ cereal, dog food, portabello raviolis, library returns, bulk spinach for smoothies, Dr. Bronner's, teapot purchase, thrift shop pop-in, lemon sorbet...
I'm curious ~ when you have a day full of errands, what "precautions" do you take to make sure you get through with energy to spare? I usually come home burnt out, but today, I drank a ton of water, and had a very specific list of where to go, in what order, and what to buy. And I stuck to it.
Surprisingly the day went well; I didn't get sidetracked and so had energy left to putter in the garden all evening, dreaming and digging and replanting. Watering, especially, and hoping small herbs and additions will grow huge to fill in empty spaces. I cannot wait for 2 or 3 days of steady rain, whenever that might choose to occur. Myself and the hose just don't do a proper stand-in for Mother Nature.
Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are and whatever you're doing.

I love the book Chocolat, that's a great quote and goes perfectly with the photo.
I have to agree that making a list and sticking to it is the safest way to get through errands with energy to spare. Love reading about your time in the garden, it makes me want to go and spend time in mine.
portabello raviolis & bulk spinach for smoothies....sounds amazing!!
we are waiting for a nice hard rain here in MI too!
love that chocolat quote as well! so so lovely!!
Jadyn ~ Yep, I think I'll try the list thing again next time. A/C in the car on these 96* days helps too. :)
Alfie ~ thanks! Hope you get rain soon too ~ I am looking forward to a hard rainstorm so much!
