i’m just myself
Mother Nature is really putting out lately, gracing the 206 with what looks to be a summer to remember. It is awesome.
The bounty of the season seems more vibrant than usual. On Sunday, I went to the West Seattle Farmer’s Market, as I tend to do each Sabbath. There were strawberries so ripe, they looked like they were filled with blood. Fresh mint, cilantro, snap peas, weird lettuces, and tomatoes that actually taste delicious. The last of the peonies, and bunches of devastatingly fragrant sweet peas.
And, of course, cherries.
This gruesome creature was terrorizing people. I kept my distance. Didn’t want to harsh my high.
I started the day at Lincoln Park, where the trails to the beach always rule. I know that park like the back of my hand now, and it never fails to make me happy.
The tides are cooperative right now. Earlier, I talked to my dun on the phone, and then watched his ferry come across the water. Overhead, a rowdy bunch of crows had the audacity to go after the eagle. That big famous bird was holding something in his talon. It kinda looked like a big stick, but I am hoping it was a snake.
How awesome is that. Eagle with snake, fighting crows? Thanks, universe.
Apparently, Team Mob Fuck is claiming stinkin’ Lincoln.
For dinner, Nikole and I had a picnic at Alki. I cooked.
This is old news, but the Cave Singers released a new song this month. Their record comes out in August. I am pretty sure it is going to be the soundtrack to this summer.
Everyone already knows how crazy I am about this group, and that I truly think they are the best band to come out of the Pacific Northwest in a long time. I talk about it a lot.
