on the road. again.

rock hunting!

that's that romancing the stone sh!t.
we took the dog out to uncle steven's castle in the sky.
really, it's just a mountain,
but there's a lot of what i need up there.
y'know...rocks.
hand-picked for their visual virtues
from a field full of rocks,
and filling a truckbed full of rocks,
for a flowerbed full of rocks.
they aren't getting any lighter, either.
check the viewpoint, ninjas.

scenic vista-type action over here.
that's nature, in full effect.
***********
y'know what goes great with bandy-armed rock-rackin' exhaustion?
this:

noodoo bowl.
yeah!
sweet and spicy tofu.
broccoli.
soba noodoos.
with three kinds of hot sauce and extra black pepper.
plus some soupy veggies and lots of soy sauce.
that's like a whole hole of unholy hellacious howling.
more like noodoo bowel.
c'mon.
***********
the soccer ball is here,
and so is the low self-esteem.
man,
the wife and i were a couple of sweat-soaked soggy sacks, y'all.
an hour of kickin' it about,
on a proper pitch,
and we both needed a shower and a massage.
oldness.
sore, tired, and played-out.
i got that.
i also get to go to assachussetts in a little minute.
harvest and maple are coming back for one last week
of woodsly goodness,
and family togetherness,
and summer vacation.
lucky us.
one less day off,
one more day of driving across the 'sauce.
one more magic minute with my mighty miniatures.
moments, neighbors.
i'm on 'em;
never quiet, never soft.....
