A perfect weekend!
We had the most lovely time! I did all of my favorite things!!
I was able to be in the studio making art (I am working on a piece called "Portrait of a Lesbian Family" - I hope it will be the first in a series and that other families will want thier own in the series because I love, love, LOVE this quilt.)
We had quality family time together with lots of laughing.
We went to a women's Buddhist meeting where we all chanted Nam Myoho Renge Kyo (even Parker and we all noticed the feeling of the vibration and how strong it was.)
We ate delicious food and saved enough for leftovers.
I helped to build a Habitat for Humanity house and had a GREAT time with the teens from church. I had no idea how many doors there are in a new home!!!
Parker went to a sleepover birthday party and Dani and I had a sextacular date that spanned into the next day!
We went to church and spent more time with people we like - hearing stories of caring for elders and joking with the teenagers.
We gardened in the glorious early spring sun - putting in snap dragons, violas and pansies. We did spring cleaning of pruning blackberry brambles and dead vines, filled up the bird feeders and placed our statues in places of honor. The image of the Celtic Goddess Korrigan by the reflecting pool is eye level, Freya the welded winged woman (by Pamela Dueweke) is on a redwood stump in the center of our heart shaped rock garden. Artemis - brought from Greece by my father - stands among the tips of the tulips that have poked up from the earth. Diana (carved into an amber polka dotted sea shell from Italy) is in the pot with the lemon tree and Brigid (a graffitti airbrushed piece by Clay Chollar) guards the firewood on the porch. Quan Yin will remain indoors for a little while longer. She will eventually end up by the lavender when the days get longer.
Dani and Parker worked on a the science fair project after he was done playing with his friend here in the neighborhood and now he is in the bath while the dogs knaw on bones happily and I take a moment to write.
It's been just perfect. Lovely. Family, freinds, good deeds, gardening, sex and grilled asparagus. It really doesn't get better than this.
