summer? is it here?

summa fun
hooray cardigan!
ice cold blanched peas
obviously the swimming in the lake, the sacrificing our not-so-virgin bodies to the god of summer has brought the heat down upon us. and it's G L O R I O U S ! ! this is probably the best weekend i've had in known memory. or at least since last summer. saturday morning equaled a sleep in, chores, farmer's market (blueberries! kale! dill! peas!), loonie toonie at the Friendship Center, a lot of knitting, a lot of playing outside, a long nap with my babe, women's liberation book club meeting, and an early morning (today) with lots more chores, farmers market II, breakfast out with some family, more knitting, more playing outside, getting sun tanned, cooking a huge vegan dinner (to celebrate my 7 day cleanse that i didn't suck too much at), and now a movie, more knitting, and a non-cleanse approved chocolate snack.

the cleanse. what a genius fucking idea. i mean, i didn't stick to it 100% especially past day four, but it's changed the way i eat fundamentally (or re-routed me to how i used to eat). i'm going to try and not go back on caffeine, minus green tea, and we're getting closer to a vegan/veg diet. and i'm looking forward to august's 14 days, and will try harder to stick to it.  the best part was that i felt phenomenal, though was tired for the first 5 days or so. good stuff.

we still haven't had a day without rain. hoping it will be today, it is so fantastic to see the sun again.

Yeah, what Laura said. I'm so jealous of your sunshine!
