Saturday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Spring<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I spent some time sitting outside at a coffeehouse with my reading.<\/p>\n

\"Peas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I spent a little time at the garden, where my peas are now half a hand tall and where one of the strawberry plants I bought last week now has two white berries on them. My violets are flourishing and I picked a nosegay to bring home. They smelled so lovely!<\/p>\n

I spent the evening chatting with Karen and got to say hi to both her kids who shared with me stories of their trip to the carnival.<\/p>\n

Sunday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today Rudi and I went to the farmers market early, hoping to collect both asparagus and a free compost bin. We were successful at both and procured several other items, including greenhouse tomatoes, milk, soft wheat flour, and leeks.<\/p>\n

After a leisurely breakfast, he vacuumed before heading off on a bike ride with a friend, and I did laundry prior to venturing over to the Folger Shakespeare Library<\/a> on Capitol Hill, where they were celebrating Billy Shakes’ 454th birthday. I’d never been to the building before, so I was particularly excited to visit, because, well \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 library!<\/p>\n

\"Folger<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Queen<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The building is beautiful and is divided into long galleries, of which this is the central one. There’s a quartet performing at the far end of this room, a play reading going on in the theater, an exhibit on early books, and trivia and costume dress-up in the back reading room. Outside, there were kids’ activities and, at the end of the event, Queen Elizabeth I and the Eastern High School marching band arrived (separately) to lead us in singing “Happy Birthday” to her most loyal subject. She then cut the cake using a rapier and then staff passed out slices (of sheet cake, rather than the fancy cake that may or may not have been a prop).<\/p>\n

\"Puck<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Even Puck got in on the celebration! Or maybe he was really delighted to see this bird.<\/p>\n

Rudi and I concluded the evening with risotto made with ramps and asparagus and mushrooms, strawberry ice cream, and tv. I finished my book after he went to bed, painted my toenails (I’m saving the fingernails for tomorrow night), and will soon head to bed.<\/p>\n

It was a busy weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
