Thursday night's graduation was bittersweet for so many kids. Too many of them say they're moving off the Island, too many had to grow up too fast. Most of the kids graduating that night were still not back in own homes, my nephew included.

time for another trip to home depot. . . so much left to do. . .

It seems my new comfort range is somewhere btwn 75 and 77 inside the house. This just seems so narrow; any lower and I'm reaching for a blanket, any higher and I'm reaching for a cold drink. Now outside I can tolerate much higher but just seems odd that indoors range is so narrow.

shopping list: potting soil, framing boards, coffee creamer, bamboo stuff, watering can. . . it never ends.

oh and I'm heading off to the Toronto area next weekend. . . .
