We headed out early to have bfast at Geraldine’s Counter… perhaps our third week in a row? Bfast was good. Afterwards, Amanda and the Kai dropped by AC-MC’s place for an impromtu playdate while I went home for a work party at the P-Patch.

It was the first work party of the year. Mostly we did stuff like rebuilding decrepit beds and preparing other beds for new gardeners. I had fun. Amanda and the Kai came by before the little one’s lunch and nap; he helped by spreading leveling out the dirt in one of the newly rebuilt plots. A little anyway. He also gave Ian a few worms as presents.

Amanda napped with the Kai as she has an overnight shift. I diddled about until the Kai woke up, whereupon I fed him some fried rice and Tofurky before heading out to the Arboretum. Amanda stayed at home an continued sleeping.

They were having a bamboo festival thing there, but it is closing up when we got there. All the azaleas were blooming and looked quite nice. The Kai was not impressed, though, and wanted to go home and have an ice cream cone. Being the parent, I forced him to enjoy nature for a while before returning home.

Amanda made dinner (pasta with arugula and tomatoes and roasted red peppers) while I took the Kai to Safeway to get a bread. I also picked up some strawberries because they were cheap. Back home I entertained that Kai while Amanda continued cooking, or rather I watched up ride his little bicycle around.

After dinner there was a bit of music before the Kai had to go to bed. Amanda took the opportunity to get more sleep.

Unfortunately, she had at least three people in her queue, so she is now off working.
Note: I completely could not remember the name of the greens in the pasta tonight (until the end of the entry). I am totally getting senile.
