my new BLue Canoe bra’s and yoga top. Lately my cycle has include like 2 weeks of swollen and VERY tender breasts. It’s so ouchy and uncomfortable and my usual bras become uncomfortably tight. For the 2 seconds that I was nursing I had these great Blue Canoe bra’s. They have a really wide underband and are soft with wide shoulder straps, no padding or underwire or scratchy closures or ANYTHING. I ordered a couple of new ones since my old ones don’t fit and are all ratty. I’m trying out a new style, the Jen’s bra, that rocks and the yoga bra is great too. Since I didn’t really care about the color I just went and bought the ones they had left on the sale page. yay sale page!
My new book Designing California Native Gardens: The Plant Community Approach to Artful, Ecological Gardens. The plant community approach makes a lot of sense when designing a garden. My class last semester was very much about this idea. I finally ended up deciding to take the Spring version of that class this semester and i also signed up for a ground cover class that may get dropped for low enrollment, although i hope it doesn’t.
Futzing in the garden and chicken herding. The weather has been really, really nice, perfect gardening weather so I have been out in the backyard everyday working on the embankment slide. It involves a lot of digging. And that involves a lot of jack waving the hose around and making rivers and oceans in the trenches I am digging. today, I made him a perfect round little island to sit on.
We are trying to integrate the two chicken flocks. the big ones are NOT happy about it and they cluck threateningly and fluff themselves up very big and then rush the little ones. Last night we snuck the little ones into the big coop. Tonight i put the littles to bed in their old coop but we will switch them in the dead of night again. It’s a great excuse to pet them since the littles are not friendly enough with us yet to cuddle them normally. Yes, they are outrageously soft and adorable.
Sketching and researching natural playscapes. I’m sketching (very roughly) ideas for a natural playscape for a park in east oakland and it is super fun to come up with ideas and figure out where they would work in the space. I’ll probably do some more posts about this and my progress with the playscape in my own backyard.
embankment slide in progress:
Phineas and Ferb. Jack has been watching this show recently since it is on netflicks streaming. He really likes it and I don’t mind watching it either. I like Perry the platypus.
Pintrest. Pintrest continues to be great. I do wish it had some kind of collage tool. here’s a link to my playscapes board.
my By Nieves bath products. They smell sooooo good! the perfect skin serum is my favorite.

You need a rock with fossils in it. Jack was unbelievably cute pretending to study specimens with a fakey microscope (a short stick). “I believe this is the bwain on a bwontasaurus.” !!!!!
I want to make a garden, but I’d like to do it in raised beds, somehow, and not in the ground. Where we live is just soooo much limestone that getting shit to grow well just sucks.
raised beds are lovely! get one of those kids of yours to build it for you.
or hire someone. that might be easier…
