A Day In The Life
Today was quiet: went for a long walk with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doctor_nine, a shorter one with my mother, and started getting de-rusted in my driving. Talked very briefly with Mom about maybe getting Dad's car for next year- he's pretty much ready for a new one, and I learned to drive on his car anyways. And it would be awfully useful for getting groceries- shopping by bike/bus is an awful pain when you're trying to get more than just munchies/one-time cooking supplies. Also for dancing, HaMakor rehearsals and the like. I love public transit, but the buses just don't quite work well enough to cover everything that far out.
Random thought prompted by the gardens at home: I do wonder if I could get Nasturtium seeds and plant some in a pot next year, and be able to use them for snacks/salads. They're awfully pretty, and they do taste good. (Nasturtiums are a flowering plant with round leaves and red, yellow or orange flowers- both leaves and flowers are edible and sort of peppery.) I'm not always patient enough for plain flower plants, but things that are edible/useful provoke significantly more interest from me. There's something about growing one's own food that's awfully rewarding. This year at home we're mostly just doing a bunch of peas- and a volunteer lettuce. And the strawberries, if we can get to them before the squirrels do. We had some moderate success last year- hopefully it'll continue. Someday I want a real fruit/vegetable/herb garden of my own. And then I can give away my own excess squash rather than my parents' excess squash. (Or substitute cabbage, beets, cucumbers, basil, or tomatoes, depending on the year)
Lastly, a meme frombelu, etc:
Why did you friend me?
IF you care to, add this to your own journal.
If the question is too dull/obvious, feel free to supply a somehow related question and answer that.

We met each other through Wyrd Sisters and got to know each other fairly well, and we ended up trading LJ info or otherwise obtaining each other's.
