I've been getting annoyed about parking my car in the backyard. Of course, I love having off-street parking because my summer sublet is on one of the busy streets of Ithaca, and on a pretty steep hill, no less. BUT, after I got back from Maine, I had my car washed and the morning after, my car was covered in bird poop and dark purple berry splats.
However, once I got over my annoyance, I realized that the berry splats came from the mulberries dropping by the hundreds from the mulberry tree in our backyard! So my roommate and I went out with bowls and harvested a whole lot. She took these three pictures.
Unfortunately for me as I found out, mulberries give me the runs. Well, at least these ones did. So no more mulberries for me. It's a pity because they're apparently very good for immune systems. And we all know just how often I catch colds.
I also need a haircut desperately but I'm too cheap to spring for one just yet. I'll wait until either the Fall semester. Or, maybe when I get a job interview (haha, yeah right). I guess it doesn't matter too much since I'm trying to grow it out. Short hair is nice except for the fact that I have to get it cut every month.
(I've decided that I can't do much with my round face.)
What car did you get? You didn't tell us. How come your friends from college are still in Maine? Mine have mostly left Louisiana!!!
ReplyDeletei did! the pictures are on my facebook AS WELL AS on a post below (scroll down). can't believe you haven't seen my "grown-up" car yet. :p
ReplyDeleteno, no, most of my college friends have left maine . . . but i'm still friends with my profs and the bookstore staff (i worked there). so they're my friends who are still there!
Mulberries- yummy : ) Sux you can't enjoy them. Your hair looks fine! I agree that short hair is just too much maintenance! It's actually easier to just wear hair longer.
