it's been quite a while since i last blogged. perhaps that's a good thing. life has been pretty quiet, and to me, that's a great thing. needless to say, there hasn't been a whole lot to blog about. it's been a bit of a struggle to find things to say these days, and for me, well that's a different thing.
since the start of the year it seems as though my lists of things to do hasn't changed much in terms of goals, agendas, and the like. what i can say has happened has been a re-discovery, in a way, of the city in which i live, making me want to explore and add to my list of things to do, say on a saturday afternoon. so here are two places that i (re)discovered.
re-discovery: the arboretum. i've been twice this week, and i think the unseasonably warm (upper 80s) weather for this time of year pushed me to go back the second time. the initial draw was to see a work by an artist i have really taken an interest in over the past few years, patrick dougherty. i first saw one of his works at another botanical garden up the coast, and have been hooked.
discovery: a delicious place i found to eat called milk. yum yum! i have abandoned most of my allergy-related diet constrictions, including ice cream. though i have remained steadfast in avoiding milk as a beverage and milk-based yogurt. it's appropriate, then, that i 'crashed' at a place called milk. www.themilkshop.com try it out if you're in the neighborhood.

i have never been to the aboretum and it looks so sunny and warm, damn you!
Is milk on Beverly or close to you...there is a cafe/restaurant on beverly in LA called MILK and it's right by a store called Heidi Abra which carries my pottery.
MILK is on Beverly...the next time I am there, I will stop by Heidi Abra! It's raining here, too, now. The warm weather will be here again soon...and for you, too. Hang in there. I hope all is well with all of your adventures...my envy continues!
