I’ve been away for a week and then home for a week but have been feeling a bit under the weather and generally listless. I kind of like the word listless. It sounds exactly like I’ve felt. (I just looked it up and it’s derived from the middle English word “list” which meant “desire”….so it’s feeling desireless) I fought it for a few days but have since decided to just go with it and let it run it’s course. I’ve got a few jobs (like finishing a blurb book) that don’t require energy or inspiration…perfect!
We have so much fennel growing in our garden right now…just two plants, but they’ve grown almost 8 ft. tall! We won’t be harvesting them to use in a culinary sense but they’re very pretty…quite light and feathery looking. As it goes to seed this fall, I know the birds will enjoy it.
I hope this last long weekend of the summer (here in North America) is a perfect ending to the season. On the west coast we’re having some of the nicest weather we’ve had throughout the summer! I love sunny Septembers!
I have seen slower people than I am and more deliberate…and even quieter and more listless and lazier people than I am. But they were dead.
Mark Twain
...back soon with more "list"!
