Summer

We harvested our first bowl of strawberries yesterday. One pound of delicious, home-grown, organic, sugary, delicious, juicy, (did I mention delicious?), strawberries! I now declare summer officially here! Even if it's nearly a week early, I don't really care.

We also harvested the first handful of snap peas 2 or 3 days ago, so the garden is really starting to produce. I can't wait 'til the raspberries start to flower and ripen; but that'll be a while yet.

In the mean time, I've been thinking about another book or series -- about horses. I figure if I don't know what I want to write, I can at least write what other people want to read: and I have some friends who like (see: are insane about) horses. Yeah, I was never into the whole "O, LOOKIT TEH BOOTIFUL HURZES DEY'R SOO KEWL" thing, but I'll try and put a new spin on the whole horse story thing. Not that I know what most books about horses are like, because I've never read them, but maybe I can come up with something original and cool.

Eh, who knows?

I've also been helping my dad package up art prints and letterpress stuff to sell at the French Nest Market next Saturday (I think), and so that's been pretty fun and we've been making a lot of progress.

It's pretty busy here,
And it's also summer.
