gettin out of town

in about a month i'll be leaving for a month. i'm going to visit leigh in london after stopping in nc for a week to see my family. we've got two side trips planned, one is a few days in paris over my birthday weekend, and another few days in bath. work is crazy right now and i'm writing on my blog because i'm so tired that i don't want to write my paper or study for my first of three finals (which is tomorrow at 10am). i just want to dream about london, paris, leaving it all behind for a month - no work, no school, no nothing. i haven't even had time to think about where i want to go when i get there, but leigh has got a good list going for us and i can read and plan stuff on the plane right?

or maybe just sleep.

bye bye spring break

the cabin was so fun this weekend, even though it rained most of the time. we tried a new method of departure. i hopped on the bus at 3 and al picked me up on the corner with a huge, heavy back of all we'd forgotten to put in his car the night before. we got up north before 6 and it was still light outside. i had gotten all my homework done so i didn't even take a text book with me. we both took friday off and it felt like more than a long weekend.

i turned the garden bed, added some new compost, and replanted the stragglers from last year. not sure they will hold out, but i didn't want to toss them. we want to put another bed in as this one doesn't get much sun. we've planted some blueberry bushes but they won't fruit for a few years.

we didn't sit outside much, it was pretty cold and windy.



i got some nice shots of the forget-me-nots and my rain boots. as usual, i was sad to come home. back to school and work!
