I mentioned somewhere that I would put up photos of my container garden so here it is with other random things, cut so that you can choose to look at it.
This is what it looks like as you walk out the sliding door:
Trees above that scene, looking out:
Cat interlude; Sir William :P
Crappy selfie:
More patio:
My favorite tree!
Hummingbird!
This is the best that my garden has ever looked! I am really hitting my stride this year.
So I live in an apartment complex that has had a barely functioning laundry. Each week a new sticky note would appear on one of the washers or dryers. It was like a bad joke. This has been dragging on for months. Finally yesterday I was beginning to wonder if I would need to go to this place in town, Laundry Lounge, as we were down to four washers and five dryers for the entire place, when a man materialized and fixed all of them in under an hour!
This made my week. I have never been so excited to do laundry.
Also, it is Sergei Prokofiev's birthday!! (Well, they changed from the Julian to the Gregorian Calendar so...it is mostly his birthday.)
I am listening to all of his piano sonatas. I am on No. 8 of 9. :O
For anyone interested, I will stick links below to various recordings!
I really like his 5th Sonata . Here is Gergiev conducting his Fifth Symphony with a toothpick because he is a little cray cray. He is brilliant though. The second movement of this one sounds mechanistic. I love it!
And here is one of my favorites: Sarcasms! It's solo piano stuff where he has a bit of fun, a little too much fun? I just love that he wrote something "sarcastic".
Finally (cause I would be on here all day), I really like Tales of An Old Grandmother. The first piece is so wistful. It makes me think of the fading light on tall buildings. I want to play this one!!
More "what I've been up to" stuff on a separate post though it isn't drastically exciting. Mainly practice, work, errands, procrastination, mad plans, and tv shows. :)
Random question of the day: do you all drink tea and if so, what kind(s) of tea do you like? I really like Earl Grey and Russian Caravan. And how do you take your tea? I am a little tea mad.

Oh wow! I live for cinnamon. :) I put it on coffee, on rice. I am weird like that.
I have smelled that Wild Sweet Orange! I should try it sometime.
Tea IS lovely. I do drink chamomile sometimes in the evening in order to calm down before bedtime. I suppose that it is a medicinal use.
