"Who Wishes She Were Never Born Into This Cage..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I have new spectacles. They make everything terribly bright, and I've been disoriented all day long, and rather wandering.

To-morrow this time I shall be quite gone.

Lillie, thank you so much for Jane Eyre! <3 I am enjoying it madly. I think I shall burn it onto a CD so that I may take it with me.

As suspected, have failed to finish Fish's birthday gift. Do not win. Shall scan on the part I did finish, though, as soon as I remember to go upstairs at fetch it. ^_^

*points* This is my lazy icon.

We harvested to-day: all the apples, half the peaches, most of the tomatoes, several potatoes, all the red raspberries, some of the second planting of corn. I think the purple beans are over and so are the wax and green, perhaps, although perhaps not. The Asian Pears will be ready by September. ^___^ I like Asian Pears.

We are taking most of this with us to-morrow.

*hums nervously* I think the heat is affecting my head again, for la! I cannot be coherent at all.

I shall miss everybody so terribly...!

*flails* Apples, peaches, raspberries... I'll try to stop being in awe of this now. But... Raspberries. *curious poke* What's an Asian Pear?

*pounces* I'll miss you so much! I'll send Hamlet's poetry out tomorrow, perhaps, and Alice's letter to Patrice on Monday, and somewhere in there shall be a letter from me, as well.

Promise me you'll get some rest, relax, and have a lovely time?

*wikipedias it up some for you -- they're sort of like apples, and yet! pear! brilliant invention if there ever was one. or at least that's what the part of my head that thinks like ros says. and i'm still not here.* ^__^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...ooooh. They're like... applears. That is brilliant. Thank you, O Kylee who is Not Here.

And they don't taste like apples or pears at all! And have the prettiest little white flowers -- oh look, you can see them on the Wikipedia page -- but they're prettier in real life, and whiter, and eeeeeeeeee --

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, they taste a little like pears, I think. Funny pears, though.

^_____^ Have you some?

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

Funny pears. *nods* And not quite as soft.

Yes! But how each kind is different from the other kinds of Asian pears, I'm not sure. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's true.

I don't know.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...lucky.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^___^ Yes! Well, it's not so aweish. Daddy says we might have watermelons by the time you come up! ^_____________^

Asian pears, as Miss Kylee demonstrated. They're very nice.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmg. Horatio sent a postcard in return, Patrice a letter. And eeeeeeeeeee, I got your letter, I love you.

I shall.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Is too. And... hi. Excuse me while I stare at the monitor in a manner that very obviously says "watermelons?!". ...in short, that would be wonderful.

I've not seen them before. Odd.

*bounces* Excellent! I'm glad they arrived, as they were both sent a bit later than expected. I love you more!

Good!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Is not. We've done it all my life. And ^____________________^ lovely-good.

Well, they're a hybrid.

^___^ I, er, hope Rodya's postcard didn't/doesn't cause too much trouble.

^_^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

But... but... we haven't. We barely have a patch of grass to our name, you see.

They're still weird. XD

Has not yet arrived. It should not, I hope.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Sad, Zara. Very sad.

Tasty, though. :D

>_> I'm not so sure about that. Er. Among other things, he addressed it to Alice and I didn't realise until after it was mailed; and then there's his handwriting...

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

It is. But I do enjoy my city.

I wouldn't know. :P

Well. We shall see. The fact that it is addressed to Alice should not be a problem, save for a couple of confused parents. The post office is usally pretty good with handwriting.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, good.

You'll find out, though. They're an August/September fruit.

Er. Well. It's just a thing. You'll see. It even made Nanni's Mum go O_o, so it's not tame.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*pets Philly*

*glee!* Promise?

Oh, dear. Well. If it arrives while my mother is at work, my father won't read it, so all that might be a problem is the address.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^_^

I believe so! Even if the crop is over, we save the fruit in the freezer and put it in pies and all sorts of things.

Erk. Okay.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Eeee! That sounds so lovely.

Here's hoping.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^_^ I hope it shall be for you.

Yes.

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

Do take your time -- tomorrow's as bright as today, and sloth is the greatest virtue the Catholic church never realized. *hums and lays out a big rug to roll in the sun on*

We'll miss you madly too, you know. But have fun and feel well!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, that's very kind of you, but-- oh! *starstruck by the rug*

^___^ Thank you.
