Adrienne Rich, “The Ink-Smudged Diaries of Adrienne Rich”

I bought this little tray table at an estate sale on Saturday and I put it by my reading chair by the window.

Because my husband was given NCIS: Season 1 and Miami Vice: Season 3 for his birthday, we watched a lot of these guys:

And I am not complaining. No siree. Some things just never get old.

I went through a lot of stuff in my office.

The recycling bin was full today!

I tried to work in the yard, but it was just too muggy. They said it was supposed to be rainy all weekend, but it was merely humid. We could use the rain!

I finished My Mortal Enemy by Willa Cather–hardly a novella, more like a long short story–but very good as Willa always is. Such a good writer! Now I am reading The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco, which the boy gave to me for my birthday back in April.

I also finished a needlepoint project that I have been working on.

All in all, a pleasant weekend. Life is good! What did you do this weekend?
