“It is getting to be a great effort for me to think straight. Just this nervous weakness I suppose.”

Today was departure day for Florence, but, unusually for us, our flight was in the evening. (Normally we're "first flight of the morning" kinda gals, so "going to the airport" generally involves pre-dawn wake-ups.) So we had much of the day to be productive, beyond even just packing. And we spent our morning getting seedling-tending off of Boomer's agenda; we planted the garden! Woo hoo! Going to Florence and getting the garden almost fully planted? ON THE SAME DAY? Madness!
Cataloging the garden goings on, we transplanted the tomatoes (all cherries -- lemon drop, black cherry, peacevine, and ping pong), the peppers (sweet salad, superette banana, padron, jalafuego, nardello, maule's hot, and hinkelhatz), the basils (red rubin, lettuce leaf, and genovese), and one tomatillo. We direct-sowed lima beans, papalo, nasturtiums, and Mexican mint marigold. And we also planted some stuff from the nursery -- snapdragons, more basil, and these marigolds. It feels so good to know that this is all done, and that our garden will be lushly grown in by the time we get back next week. Right?
(Still left to do, and looming somewhat contentiously over us, is rebuilding one of the beds and planting the cucumbers. But we'll worry about that later.)
Protest of the passing of proposition 8 in San Diego California. Images were contact printed in a darkroom and then scanned from the contact sheet, levels were adjusted in photoshop and an unsharp mask was applied. I also added my © notice. Film was Ilford HP5 Plus 400 and camera was a Nikon N80. Lens was a Tamron 28-300mm zoom lens.
BLAH! I'm sorry we disappeared for a month! My computer crashed and they had to ship it over seas to get fixed. :( Even though I didn't have access to Flickr and couldn't upload pictures for 52 weeks I still took a picture every week! So again I am terribly sorry for miss four weeks of 52 weeks.
Here are links to the other 3 pictures I've missed:

The time of each tide
fades into the calm night's sand
while the moon's white fire
sparks
the night's tarred waves.
- poem written by Virginia & Charlie at this very spot a few minutes after this photo was taken. =]
she also wrote a poem of her own which was awesomer but it may stay in draft form for a long time =P
