The Friday following Easter* has been designated Earth Day since 1970 or so,
but before that could happen one had to make it up to American Canyon where Afghanis
are recycling ruined Teslas and also, fortunately for me, still Toyotas as I needed a jack, the one that came in the new-to-me Tundra having been discovered to be utterly useless.
The entire windy nippy week the ol’ earth was looking, in our myopic view across the straits,
pretty good
as nights we indulged ourselves in an addictive Poirot-arama while days, well one of them
anyway, we overindulged on Dim Sum thanks to friends from down the Peninsula.
Thursday the recycled/repurposed 1945 Chevy was taken out for dog food and other stuff after
which L. and I returned to Petfood Express** with the Inkies, who weighed in at 83 [Cosmos] and 64 [Sumi] pounds respectively, and then the week wrapped with the aforementioned
Earth Day, the ol’ earth still looking pretty good as long as one didn’t think too hard outside the box or immediate time frame.
It was a week which unfortunately never afforded any scrap of time to focus on the studio…too many hours drained here or there, everything taking longer to do less all the time.
Nonetheless after a last and very abbreviated bikeride down the block and back we did much enjoy a long-postponed Saturday evening in garden and library with three generations of Adamses…
*Not always the Friday following Easter [along with Ramadan, Passover and a nearly full moon] probably, but this year it was.
** Having noted the weighing station while collecting the summer’s Large Breed Dogfood.
The Domaine Faiveley Mercurey “Vieilles Vignes” sounds rather delicious! Which year was that one? Did it go with the dim-sum? 🙂
More than delicious, though I didn’t note the year. Dim sum preceded it by several days, as a lunch…
Katie and I went to Autun, to see the beautiful Romanesque Cathedral St. Lazare. You can’t believe how inexpensive great Burgundies are there…in the grocery store!! We bought a Mercurey and my favorite Givre. One of your views — not shown— is a total affront to Earth Day…..gas refineries. 😒 I guess you are to be congratulated on the optimistic view of your locale.
We are totally in totally in agreement about supermarket burgundies…in Bourgogne. Where, when we were there, the only California offering, Boone’s Farm, was twice the price of a Beaune…as for “optimism about our locale”, just ask the clear coat of my former Tundra. The air around there rots everything, given half a chance, and did.
