it must have slipped my mind that working out in the sun for 5 hours will burn you. and the beauty of my extremely fair skin type is that i burn awful, then i peel and then im whiter than before i got burned. i love it. my shoulders and the back of my neck are toast.

but i feel good. mostly becuase of the work i got done in my garden. i constructed a few trellesis for some climbing bushes, cleaned out several of my flower beds, dug out and dumped four wheel barrel loads of dirt/manure into my flower beds, planting a few seeds and put up the startings of an arbor im building over the back porches. it looks lovely out there and it did my heart and body good.

so, oddly enough, i actually saw two good movies in a row this weekend... matchstick men and runaway jury. both about con-men. both good. the leage of extrodinary gentlemen was bearable, i supose. mosre of a movie that 12 year old boys would love. i bought once upon a time in mexico. i couldnt help it. there it was... $12.99... there was my little bit of left over tax return money that i was allowing myself to spend... so i got it.

i hope you all had a lovely sunday. the weather here is horrible. i live not even five minutes from the mountains, and i cant see them becuase of the smog. the air is hot. but its nice under the patio in the shade. travis and i went to church this morning in visalia then shimmyed on over to juanitas house to sit under the shade of the willow tree for about an hour, talking about nothing in particular. it reminded me of the old time movies where the wealthy people just lounged around in the gardens all day, doing nothing. lovely times.

peace...
