Yesterday was the perfect escapism for me. I got to go to Queen's Champion Archery in the Barony of Angels aka Los Angeles CA. I wasn't that diligent about getting photos of all the activities. For some reason, every time I sat down I never wanted to get up again. And I was aggravated with my camera, which hasn't worked quite right since the day I fell down and smashed it on a rock. But of the photos I did get, I really liked them.  So I'll share them. Notice how green everything is? I miss green since moving to the desert.

There was also fencing going on on the other side of the field. Next time I'll write a list so I get some of everything. Also, dear photo fairy, I really need a new camera! 

The Weekend Gypsy

I get to don my gypsy garb tomorrow and be who I really am. Full skirts don't work well in my tiny house but the event is at a shady park, so with any luck I will get to be under the trees doing the things I love which include painting on scrolls, juggling, reading the tarot, and doing fiber arts.

I seem to have lost my belt. I had it Friday before last at the Steampunk campsite. I took it off to put on my driving clothes and mislaid it in one of my bins or tote bags. Sheesh. Maybe it is out in my art studio, but it is too dark out there to look for it. Let's hope I get up early enough to find it before I have to get a ride to town to catch my ride to the event. I have to grab my painting supplies and my belt and load the last minute items into the truck, like the food, that can't go in ahead of time.

June's First Sunset

Library Day

Today was library day. By tomorrow I should be able to turn my Broadband back on, but for today I need to use the library's DSL connection. I finished two vampire books today and turned in one of them and requested the next one in the series. I like to read things in order. So hopefully they'll get that one to me fairly quickly.

I have an SCA event on Sat. so I need to get all my garb together. The last event I went to was before Christmas so I hope I can find everything. We find things and then lose them again every time we unpack more boxes. And when I got home from my week long trek, my boyfriend had rearranged the kitchen and put up some shelves.  I'm glad he did it, but now I don't know where anything is again.

Then I tore apart more boxes today looking for some arrow making tools he lost. I also watered all the trees, since it is pretty hot out today. I refilled the hummingbird feeder and had two new hummingbirds show up just before sunset yesterday. I enjoy nature. It helps me relax.
