Jul. 21st, 2005 06:56 amAt 5:28 this morning, the radio said it was already 80 degrees. Blech.
Still only one computer in the shop; hopefully tech support will come over and fix the other one today. We're all jonesing for our regular internet fix. Not to mention the work-related difficulty of all my tree trail records being on that machine.
I get to spend the afternoon in A/C, on the clock. Got a call yesterday afternoon, saying that the professionals' field day out at the hort farm was today, and that the director would comp Donna & I in if we wanted to go. Of course I wanted to go; silly humans. A whole afternoon of plant geekiness? Damn right I want to go. It certainly beats pretending to pull weeds in the heat that's predicted for this afternoon.
By came home last night and said Robyn did get into the Plaza Art Fair, so there's one show they're doing in Sept. She's trying to get into a 2-day show in LA, I think in Aug or Sept; it's one her sister (the painter) has done a time or two. And they're doing a collector's show & sale next week, Thurs and Sat.
Brought home another three flats of Donna's leftovers last night, so I was out in the garden until 8pm again. By very kindly kept me company while I weeded and planted. I'm sure it'll all need waterred again today; it was all very overgrown in the 4-packs, and today won't be nice to newly planted things, even though I tried to put most of them in the shade. Probably will bring home one more load, as she gets the rest of what she wants into her garden here.
