I did manage to get the freezer in the garage defrosted on Saturday. I also managed to purchase and install the last two tomato cages, weed the herb garden, do laundry and ran a bunch of annoying errands. The sages are doing very well this year. The Salvia officinalis is attempting a hostile takeover of the white sage and the clarey. I took the hedge trimmer to the rosemary, it's part of my springtime ritual, like when all the little boys used to get their summer buzz cuts

My old dishwasher is about to give up the ghost. I've got one on order, I hope it arrives before my parents do. Still have not got a mother's day gift for my mom, although I did call her on Sunday. We got GM's mom a GPS thingie for the car, but I'm stymied on what my mom might like.

A discussion on historical sewing kits brought up this article, http://wkneedle.bayrose.org/Articles/period_workbox.html which is partly drawn from a sewing kit in this portrait: http://www.imareal.oeaw.ac.at/server/images/7015151.JPG

I'm so sore. I cleaned gutters on Saturday and pulled weeds. It's like there's a circle of sore around my torso
. But I managed not to break any nails, so they're just long enough to tempt me to go get a manicure. Can anybody recommend a nice nail place in Cupertino? And give me a hint on how much it would cost? 

Lena Horne passed away over the weekend. My first memory of her is as the good witch in The Wiz. Talking about the movie once prompted my grandfather to tell me a story about leaning on the piano she was playing at a club in New York. I wish he would have talked more.
