happy garden, sad eyeball, chainmail, no more Sparkle balls

It has been a while since my last update, and not to much has happened. The gardens are doing great due to even more unseasonable rains, although now it is time for the monsoon rains to come. Today its very humid but coolish and cloudy. We're harvesting lettuce now and more chard, and soon some cabbage. Shevy ate an unripe beet this morning, I guess for fun, and it upset his stomach, surprise surprise.

I haven't wanted to write for a while because my good eyeball has been in bad shape. Swollen and angry, and thus i could not look into the glowing computer screen of death. I have been playing more bass, studying and meditating on the runes and writing some poetry again after so many years of not doing o. I will post them later. We did very well at farmers market last week on jewelry and chocolates, and it was a wonderful day of trading and gift giving with our neighbors. We got fresh goat cheese and blue tortillas!

Shevy has spent much of the past week getting back into making chainmail and leather working. He made an awesome chainmail belt and now he's making one for Billy. Billy and I both have requested bracers too. He also made this amazing braided silver knot work ring that the guy he works with commissioned. Its totally brutal; if i wore rings i would want one.

Not too much else to report, same old country life chores, animals are all doing well. Aspen is still almost as evil as Squishy cat. Squishy has been sporting a new red and black sparkle bow around her neck. And little Sparki is going to have his balls lopped off next week. Fun fun fun.
