Today I finally got the haircut I wanted -- I think "stubbles" is a good description. So it turns out that my thought of my head being sharp on the top is unfounded.. but perhaps my head is a bit too wide to make this hairstyle look the best it can on my head. But what the hey, yay for me trying.

DId some gardening with my folks today too. Call me lazy, but I didn't wear a pair of gardening gloves today when I did the yard work, and guess what? I like that feeling.. For reasons that I can't put into words, this made me feel like I really was doing gardening. The feeling of the dirt and soil between my fingers was wonderful -- as if I can feel the soil and all that it has to give to the plants I put into the ground. Bare hands on the plants, the seeds, the seedlings. Ever cradle a seedling and the potting soil on your bare hands? I highly recommend it.

During our trip to the local White Rose, I also bought material to start my own herb garden. Ok I am biased and only bought herbs I like.. but hey.. I'll do the other ones when these are successful. What did I buy? Thyme, Basal, Dill. We also got seeds for leeks.. mmmm potatoes and leek soap... Chinese leek and beef.. mmmmm..
