bummer

I had a whole huge post about Vigils and theater in general all typed up and ready to go and then blogger went and crashed. 

This is all my brain can handle at the moment. Raspberries. 

I still don't understand what business the letter 'p' has being in a word like raspberries. In my head I separate it like this: 'rasp (healthy pause) berries.' Like little old-lady berries with raspy voices finely tuned by decades of boozy, lascivious behavior.

I do realize that is the most ridiculous statement ever typed. Blame blogger. Back on track tomorrow!

first farmer's market day

Today we took our usual long walk and stumbled upon a great farmer's market. It was skewed to cheese-makers, but there were lots of stalls selling herbs and flowers and produce as well. While it was not the cheapest of markets, we splurged and got ourselves some fresh pork chops and eggs. Because protein is important.

Fresh pretzel bread. Taking a photo of it prevented me from doing what I really wanted which was to buy one (or three) of the big loaves to snack on while walking home. I have very little resistance against bread covered in salt.

These eggs had the most beautiful colors. Apparently there is a bird that lays eggs the color of avocados?!

This weekend is off to a delicious start.

Tonight Wishbone Theatre Collective opens Vigils! So excited to see this show come to life.

The story follows that of a young woman who has lost her husband, a firefighter, two years earlier while he tried to save a baby from a burning house. Unable to accept his passing, she has trapped his soul in a box at the foot of her bed where he ricochets from one memory of his life to the next, as she slowly learns that moving on means letting him go.

It's a very touching play and I could not be prouder of my fellow company members for all the many hours of work they have been putting into it.
