Sunday in Tennessee on the last day of May

As I sit here today, ODing on the French Open and relishing its ups and downs, it's a fine Sunday in Tennessee.

Yesterday, I attended a terrific workshop on writing structure and marketing, so there's much to think about. (It kept me up in the middle of night analyzing the movie I just say, "Paris 36," which has a solid three-act structure.)

Okay, before everything is lost, tennis notes: Nadal lost! Both Williams sisters lost in women's doubles and Venus in the 4th round singles; but hey, Andy Roddick is making it [finally] to the quarterfinals!

Now, about that fine Sunday...my gardens are blooming "en abondance."
Here's are some reasons why (apart from all that rain we just got):
>The roses maybe helped along with the coffee grinds--They are all ENORMOUS.
>The vegetable garden is yielding Swiss chard, cilantro, and basil that adds a specifcally strong taste to Cold Green Soup (e-mail me if you want this summer-time recipe)
>My herb garden is yielding at least a kilos worth of Greek oregano (some of which is subjected to my cat spraying on it, but otherwise tastes pretty good).

What's up in your yards?

Okay, truth be told, this is Natasha FORCING herself to update her posts on the blog and venture into connecting it to her Facebook and Twitter networks. Yes, all you so-called friends, you're about to hear from me, but in ways you hadn't imagined. Please bear with me in these experiments to keep everyone so well informed, you'll pay me to remove you from my networks.

Who would have thought of that as a revenue stream?!

Cheers,


Natasha
