Bucolic evening...

[msfledermaus]

I'm watching the sun go down over the river...truly beautiful.

Today was a pretty gentle, fun day--I got to spend a lot of it with Matt and the Gaily-Waily at work. Then we came back to the Island, ate sandwiches and drank a grapefruit cocktail I whipped up on the spur of the moment. Then Peaty and Rocky stopped by, harvesting greens and tomatoes and such. So now I have a fridge stuffed with basil and mint leaves and tomatoes in a bowl on the counter...

Oh yeah, and a cup of elderberries. I think I'll boil them up with honey and make a syrup for toast or something:)

It's just a beautiful, beautiful night...

Would like to see ya Tuesday if your schedule permits! (Or another time, if that's better)

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Sure!! About six thirty-ish?

[fleur.livejournal.com]

Sure!!

Are you off that day? I can pick you up at the Mine if you'd rather?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Nope,I work till five-fifteen...

If you want to brave downtown traffic to pick me up, I can treat us to something dinnery:) Otherwise I'm happy to see you on the Island later that evening, whichever makes the most sense...

I can meet you at your place, that's just fine. Oof on traffic ... you'll get home faster on the bus!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Precisely! Traffic's much easier to get to my house after about 6-ish:)

I had to look up bucolic.

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

It's a good word:)

I don't know why, but the word bucolic always sounds like some sort of virulent disease to me. "Ooo, look at the bucolic plague-trees blooming in the sunset..."

Maybe I'm thinking of a combination of bubonic plague and colic?

But yes, it was a lovely evening.

I like your definition better than the actual...Bucolic does sound like you're recovering from terrible, terrible buboes and boils!
