Alfresco

Hitch

I wanted to go filming. I suspect I would be quite an insightful cinematographer. But, sadly, I was not allowed on this particular shooting expedition. Not for lack of trying, however.

Herbage

I have my very own plant in the front-steps herb-garden. It is thriving through my daily ministrations; I never neglect to trim and care for my plant. This regularity sometimes leaves me slightly tipsy, but I shall not be deterred. (Besides, I believe the tipsiness is part of the plant's irresistible charm).

Repast

I have a regular evening ritual of sitting out on the front stoop, watching the goings on in the yard, the sidewalk, the street, the sky. I enjoy this time to myself amidst the potted herb-garden and simply taking in the view. It is quite effective for stimulating philosophical thought.

It also allows me focused occasion to bathe and groom myself.

Installation

I assisted in planting the newest piece of vegetation in the back yard: a plum tree, apparently. I do not know if I care for plums, I do not recall ever tasting one. But as I am an expert surveyor and excavator, I felt I should offer my services. The establishment was a great success.
