In the neighborhood

 I finished a four week writing group session, it was held at this meditation center.
So lovely it was!  AND cute!!!

 I got to meet a number of good women I hope to stay in touch with. These days I've also gotten to do a lot more writing. By hand, and "building up", getting ready, to work harder on a book of my memoirs.
That's where I've been being!


Also been spending as much time as usual with Grandmom. She's got a new, old little chiuhaua~

Her beloved daschund, Patty, died. What they are known to ail from, with those long backs. Patty's back gave out on her. But now Grandmom has "PattyII"...or is it she calls chiuaua-chan "Patty TOO?"

Across the road from Grandmom's I found a young man at HIS grandparent's home with HIS pet!

"Slick" which he informed me happens to be his last name as well. Yes, a boa constrictor. 

I asked him about what the boa eats, and of course, animals which he began naming. His Grandmom's dog was there hanging out. He showed me how interested Slink was in the dog...to eat of course! I'm surprised the pooch hung out as he did. I guess he hasn't watched Slink eat an animal yet.

Rains have begun to fall, and the gardens here at our house get very little sun. But I keep trying to grow things, and picking little leaves of arugula and cilnatro, kale, and russian chard for our salads. They totally make any restaurant salad taste like ...waste!
