Feeling Good

Great headline from yesterday's paper: Millions Rally to Support Aliens. Almost Onion-worthy.

Yesterday evening I planted three rows of cilantro in my new community garden. It's the first garden I've ever had that was all mine, and those are the first seeds I've planted in it. It was so lovely kneeling in the soft dirt with the pink sunset falling behind the trees, listening to birds settle down to roost and to the cathedral bells chiming (I was skipping practice). Later, I lay on the floor petting my guinea pig as she made little cheerful oinking noises, and listening to Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You Tonight," and I just felt ridiculously happy.
