Thanks Kit, thanks Seasons.
Very dear of you.

Actually I didn't go last night...too last-minute and I was too tired. But knowing that he wanted me to do that was a happy thought, and showed me I'm fictionalizing too much.

I'm seeing him tonight though.  :D

Happy weekend, everyone.
I've got to do a bunch of legal stuff for the hearing Tuesday, about my brother. Uggh.
So won't be around much.

love,
Hops

Dear Hops,
 I think it meant a lot that he asked you to go out with him and his friend.
 I  hope you have a fun weekend.      Hugs   Ami

I will, I will.
I'll report about my brother-stuff on that other thread, and save this one for the garden and budding (pun intended) relationship.

So Saturday, P appears to finish our new garden bed and says I want to take you out to dinner. Which he did, and to a lovely place. Seems to me I'm not being hid under a bushel basket! (Mangled reference...)

We had a good evening together. We're becoming more at ease. I'm still glad it's happening.

And the square foot garden beds are wonderful! One's an L-shape at the junction of two sidewalks, and then another 8-foot straight bed further down the walk. Added cucumbers and took two black metal trellises from the back yard by the terrace and attached them to the north end of the boxes. Cucumbers and beans will climb those. They look neat because they have round blue glass inserts at the tops of the arches.

Just makes me happy every time I walk past them to see those little green plants popping through the rich black mix. They amaze me. And they'll mean fresh organic veggies all summer and into fall, yum.

love,
Hops

Oh Hops, lol.....

what a lovely thought.

I'm really enjoying the visuals of all the black soil, growing plants and sunny glass inserts.

mesclun.... mesclun.....

searching my memory for the Grimm's Fairy Tale that includes mache..... an older couple who desperately wanted a child, I think... and mache figured into it, significantly.

Hops - your garden and everything that's growing there will support you, comfort you, and make you stronger on Tuesday. You may even surprise yourself! 

But I will keep fingers & toes crossed, that this is the absolute end of this kind of trouble for you.
