The famous cake for two!

So a few weeks ago I spent a little time in the SJ Japanese Friendship Garden, sitting by one of the ponds. I came away with some random lines that managed to turn themselves into a poem. So here it is, for your reading pleasure:
"Mallards"
Ten Heads
Two Legs
One wing – outstretched
Waiting for the sun to warm their cold stones.
Moss speaks in color: chartreuse, turquoise, lemon yellow, a touch of ultramarine
Juniper berries answer, plump in blue-grey
The drone of the planes drowns out their voices
The Shinto spirits left long ago
But the Koi remain
Growing older
Growing fatter
(I hope they do not feed them corn, like the salmon bred for our waistlines)
The water flows, like a cool breeze of light
That flickers on the leaves of the magnolia.
Sunlight advances and the damp steams off.
Nine Feet
Eight Heads
Two Feathers Fluffed

Happy Valentine's Day!!
The day of love and mushiness and martyred saints! I thought I would write out a very short list of people who I love (very short because there are many people I love, and only a little time before I need to go and sling drinks for all the happy couples). Here goes:
1) People who leave not just one or two q-tips, but the whole box for you.
2) People who do not judge you for eating an entire slice of chocolate cake (and eat right along side you!).
3) People who send V-day cards in the mail with gifts such as itunes cards.
4) People who give of their own knowledge and goods (such as teaching soldering).
5) People who put you on speed dial (especially number 8, I just love that number)
6) People who give house warming gifts before you even move.
7) People who understand the fun of being a crafty-crafter-kins.
8) People who treasure things that you make for them.
There are many more, but this will have to do for a start.

So I can be rather fickle with my clothes, but I think my new dress from Basho is pretty much my new favorite piece. So if you see me wearing it (which should be just about every day right now) feel free to tell me how fabulous it is. And check out his other work - I love it all!!
