Lammas accomplished

[lizziebelle]

Last night's Lammas fest was very nice. We had a few guests who either haven't been there before, or don't come very often, which was lovely. I forgot to tell everyone that I saw a couple of young ladies dressed in tutus and sunglasses waving at traffic on the way. They made me LOL in my car. :)

They had a chocolate cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to me and Justin, whose birthday is today. Thanks, guys! I may not like the number, but it's nice to have someone make a fuss over me. sea_dark_wine gave me some chocolate granola - yum! Presents that I can use up are the best. Especially if they're chocolate. *g*

I stayed over, but was awake at the crack of dawn as usual, so I hit the road. Early Sunday morning traffic is great! Much better than Saturday afternoon. I saw more out-of-state plates than local ones. The rising sun on the ochre rocks was beautiful. There was a bit of fog in Palmer, in a hollow on the Pike. It was a pretty ride.

I think I'm ready to go back to bed now.

Hi there!

None of us slept long after you left... I think we were all out of bed by 7:45 (!) though not necessarily fully awake. After breakfast (a while later), we took leenah home, with a detour through downtown Framingham and Natick to look at neighborhoods she'd been considering. I'm finishing a batch of laundry now, and maybe there'll be a walk or nap or something else low-key. justjanus and I have already nipped into the evil leftover canoli. Oh yeah, I've got to make some signs for the Lammas Faire, too.

By the way, I looked out the window just after you left (as I was on my way back to bed) and saw a young woodchuck in the yard, grazing. So cute! I guess the big one we saw here in June is a mom!

I was tempted by the canoli, but I resisted. ;)

My mom had a woodchuck in her backyard where she used to live, and Willow named it Lucy. Mom would open up the kitchen window, yell "Lucy, I'm home!" and toss out a carrot or something. Lucy's head would pop up, and out she'd come for her treat. Leave it to my mom to have a pet woodchuck! *g*
