Wednesday with The Weasel Queen

Why I love living in Davis Sq.

May and I went for a walk yesterday. We started at 'Bucks, got ourselves our usual chai, then took the back road to Porter. On a tree, we saw a hand-inked poster that asked "Are you ready for the Apocalypse? Are you ready for the Weasel Queen? 9/9/2011"

No clue what that means.

Then we went to porter Square books and bought a Vietnamese spring roll (don't all book stores sell those? They should!) We stayed for the children's story hour and as it was breaking up, heard a mom say to a slightly rambunctious daughter: "You need to ground yourself. Take a deep breath, now let it out... Good."

On our way back, we saw a tandem recumbent bike drive by.

Then we went to the Farmer's Market -- love the Farmer's Market. Bought rhubarb and goat cheese and a loaf of bread and some Boston Lettuce. Admired someone's bumper sticker that read "Vampire Slayers Against Bush." Stopped and chatted with Helen and Jake on the way home (I have to post a picture of Helen and Jake soon. They are the King and Queen of the Bike Path.)

Jen came over but May was asleep so she didn't stay long.

And after dinner, we contemplated ice cream and which of the six places in Davis, Porter, or Harvard we would choose from.

I love Davis Square.

Weasel Queen -can't be any worse than a shrub president! Silly luddite me left a comment on one of your earlier entries- OK, I fess up, I was catching up. This is all for now. Hard to type w broken dominate hand thumb. I really have a kinestethic understanding of the prehensile advantage (which I am temporarily lacking.) Manda, loved your fairytale deconstruction. There are lots of early Celtic and Goddess stories/fables that show that the guys changed stuff when they moved onto politics and running cities and banks and that whole slippery slope to ENRON and corporate all for me slimebags! Happy Independance Day! Love, Mom C
