Day 2: :)

"She was the still point of the turning world, man."
- The Virgin Suicides

Thus far today, I have read my three articles and learned a new word.

nasturtium (nə-stûr'shəm, nă-)
n.
Any of various New World plants of the genus Tropaeolum, having pungent juice and long-spurred, usually yellow, orange, or red irregular flowers.
A brilliant orange yellow.

The nasturtiums grew alongside of the house. That flower was a striking in its nasturtiam shade.

Five things that I'm grateful for:
1. Whitney bringing me my s'more sundae.
2. Kenny coming over to my parents' and meeting Whitney.
3. Tony Minney's golden retrievers getting pregnant.
4. The music and lyrics of the Avett Brothers, especially "St. Joseph's" and "Souls Like the Wheels" today.
5. Getting to sleep in Mom and Dad's perfect bed.
