Today was warm. Like, really warm. Like, upper-80s lower-90s warm. A few days ago our highs were in the 40s--welcome to springtime in Nebraska. I celebrated by virtuously hauling all my sheets to the laundromat for washing, and then taking off to my favorite thrift store for some warm-weather clothing. I am not in dire need of new clothing, I just wanted the excuse to be outside doing something frivolous instead of inside doing housework. I ended up picking up a black straw hat, a handful of summer dresses and blouses, and a pair of white dressy sandals, all for under $15. (This is why I try to have all my retail therapy sessions at thrift stores.)
I also spent some time gazing rapturously at my garden. My peas, kale, kholrabi (spellcheck! kholrabi is a word!), mustard, cabbage, and lentils are up now. I am especially looking forward to watching the lentils, as I have never grown them before. I have no idea if the harvest will be of any useful size, but I figure at worst I will have improved the soil in that patch of garden. My spinach, mache and broccoli have not appeared, and I fear they are not going to. I am especially sad about the broccoli, as it is one of my favorite vegetables. I've already bought and planted a 4-pack of broccoli seedlings from a local garden center; if the seeds don't sprout by the end of next week I might go buy more.
I put clean sheets on my bed and cooked dinner, but that may be the end of anything usefully domestic out of me tonight. I really want to take a bath and wash my hair, and after that rewatch Advent Children. I haven't seen a good swordfight in ages.
