Furoshiki

I've used up all my grocery bags and I'm not getting any more. They're clutter and a waste of resources. But I still need something for shopping and taking my lunch to work. I've been hunting for a solution that would serve both purposes, take up no real space, and look pretty.

( Help came from the Japanese Minister of the Environment. )

Ahh...

It's Sunday night. I'm sitting out on my porch. The whole world smells like flowers. The last three people who have walked or cycled by in the dark have been singing.

Singing.

Spring, when it comes at last (at long, long last), is a wonderful thing.
