Eden and Adams

 

Dressed for the same party

 

Eden Haiku: Good morning Adams!

Adams Rubble: Good morning Eden :)

 

—BELL--

 

Adams Rubble: we look like   we are dressed for the same party   this morning :)

Eden Haiku: Yes! A garden party :)

Adams Rubble: I hope you are well

Eden Haiku: Yes, quite fine, thanks. How are you?

Adams Rubble: I am well. We just had a wicked hot spell

Adams Rubble: starting to break some today but very very humid

Eden Haiku: Same here. SOOO humid. But last night it cooled down

Eden Haiku: The starry sky was wonderful!

Adams Rubble: :)

Eden Haiku: Cool air must be on your way...

Adams Rubble: It will be cool and rainy tomorrow I think and then level off in the high 80s for the rest of the week

Eden Haiku: Hot is not as bad as humid...that is the worst, humidity, isn'it?

Adams Rubble: yes, when it is humid 80 degrees F is brutal

Eden Haiku: Even the deer seemed to suffer

Adams Rubble: oh my

Adams Rubble: they are multiplying like rabbits around here

Eden Haiku: She was lying by the woods, grazing on wild strawberries

Adams Rubble: I met two fawns on my walk on Saturday

Adams shared a beautiful picture of the fawns, but I couldn't add them to the log, unfortunately...

Adams Added the Picture Later

Eden Haiku: We also see a lot of them this summer...

Adams Rubble: they seemed very curious

Eden Haiku: Fawns are soooo cute!!!

Eden Haiku: One of the does comes with her 3 fawns, another one with two. Unless it's the same doe: it's confusing. They all look mostly the same :)

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: The deer seem to be having more fawns

Adams Rubble: Your session will be the only 7 am session this week becauseRiddle is away

Eden Haiku: Is he? At a music festival?

Adams Rubble: he is somewhere here on the east coast enjoying our heat spell

Eden Haiku: Oh!!!

Adams Rubble: our Seattle visitors made it out before it turned nasty

Eden Haiku: Waving to Riddle on this side of the continent!

Adams Rubble: :)

 

—BELL--

 

Adams Rubble: hey Riddle!

 

A little dance

 

Eden Haiku: Lucky for them

Adams Rubble: the little one visited Saturday to get out of the house. When she came into our air conditioned house she did a little dance :)

Adams Rubble: get out of the heat

Adams Rubble: she will be living fairly close to us soon

Eden Haiku: very nice!

Eden Haiku: You will get happy dances and big hugs all the time!

Adams Rubble: we will be seeing much more of her. May be babysitting two days a week

Eden Haiku: Brace yourself for entering happy dances!

Eden Haiku: She will whirlwind you into her joy!

Adams Rubble: she is very resilient

Adams Rubble: I did an interview for an oral history yesterday. It is very moving to share personal details with another person

Adams Rubble: I borrowed two picture albums of family photos

Eden Haiku: When hearing about my companion losing his Mom, my 4 yo grandnephew said: "when he looks into the sky at night, he will see his mommy in a star"

Adams Rubble:We live close together and do not know how alike we all are

Eden Haiku: Yes, personal details shared are very moving,

Adams Rubble: that is a nice thought and not that far off the mark

Adams Rubble: we are all star stuff :)

Eden Haiku: True Adams, all the fundamentals in life are sooo similar....

Adams Rubble: so many happy moments and so many losses

Eden Haiku: It was his great-grandfather's theory but I doubted he ever heard about it...

Eden Haiku: Yes…

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: Had time to bring his coffee to my companion. He is still having breakfast in bed, still feeling so-so in the mornings, dizzy and sad...

Adams Rubble understands

Adams Rubble: somehow we find a way to go on when we lose someone dear

Adams Rubble: our life can be a tribute to their life

Eden Haiku: Yesterday, I snapped : " I'm not your mother " about something childish he asked...without realizing what I was saying. He teared up. I felt soooo sorry...

Adams Rubble: we carry part of them in us

Eden Haiku: Yes, remembering what they shared with us is soothing...

Adams Rubble: the fact that you moved at the same time must add to the stress even though it was a good move

Adams Rubble: two changes at once

Eden Haiku: yep, hard on the nerves. Still not completely unpacked after 12 days! Never been so slow...

Adams Rubble: hugs

Eden Haiku: Thanks Adams :)

Eden Haiku: I have been working on a new novel for months and I stopped a few weeks ago, because of all that happened.

Adams Rubble: maybe you will get some new ideas during this down time

 

—BELL—

 

1% of my time

 

Eden Haiku: So when I got here, I decided to use 1% of my time writing it. 14 minutes and 27 seconds six days a week. I put an alarm. And it works!

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: Pema strikes again !

Eden Haiku: Not sure where it goes, I just revise the last part before starting but it is reassuring...

Eden Haiku: Yes :)

Adams Rubble: work can be a great healer if one does not overdo itlike some people I know

Eden Haiku: And I write after my first walk, as soon as I come back

Adams Rubble speaking of self

Eden Haiku: smiles at Adams...

Eden Haiku: Read that Rubble had been sent to rest as Dubrovna reported to Riddle last week...

Adams Rubble: That actually was two weeks ago I think

Eden Haiku: Maybe... you had been sent to rest?

Adams Rubble: It wasn’t me who needed a rest

Adams Rubble: Sometimes the RL person moves far away from an avatar

Adams Rubble: the RL person is the one who needed the rest :)

Eden Haiku: How interesting...

Adams Rubble: the RL avatar was facing some issues on how people were viewing the person

Adams Rubble: It left no room for me

Eden Haiku: Oh!

Adams Rubble: so i was sent off on vacation

Eden Haiku: Where did you go? Tahiti? The Bahamas?

Adams Rubble: the beach :)

Adams Rubble: I sat in the sun and read

Eden Haiku: Wonderful! You live near beaches...

Adams Rubble: yes. I live on the beach in SL

Adams Rubble: no storms, no floods, no rain

Adams Rubble: just sunny weather

Adams Rubble: perfect for reading and meditating

Adams Rubble: it would be a good place to write :)

 

Eden wants a car

 

Eden Haiku:Wanted to rent a carto go to a beautiful quiet clear lake, but there were no cars available at all for weeks ahead...

Adams Rubble: :(

Adams Rubble: can you bicycle there?

Eden Haiku: Taxis to come back from the village market when it’s humid are hard to get was well

Eden Haiku: No Uber either...

Adams Rubble: how far is it to the market?

Eden Haiku: No, lake is too far and all up hills

Eden Haiku: So now, l guess what, I WANT A CAR

Adams Rubble: :)

Eden Haiku:All these annoying ads on TV got to me finally…

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: Market is only about 30 minutes walk away

Eden Haiku: But coming back with half a crate of strawberries, as well as raspberries, blueberries, lettuces, onions, cucumbers, brocolis, tomatoes and so on is a lot to carry when it is hot and humid. My companion came to the market withy me, but I didn't want him to suffer from the heat

Adams Rubble: oh yes

Adams Rubble: much to carry

Eden Haiku: We had to wait for the taxi half-an-hour sitting on a terrace, in the shade, so we got lucky. So if the guy is giving a ride to someone to another village, we could wait forever...

Adams Rubble: ohhh

Eden Haiku: Hence, I WANT A CAR

Adams Rubble: brb

Eden Haiku:For the first time in my life,. I really WANT A CAR....

Eden Haiku: I'm part of a time-share car rental in Montreal and I wanted to rent one for one month, but none were available then...

Eden Haiku: I'm a victim of tv and online adverts of CARS....Please, Greta Thurnberg, save me!

Eden Haiku: Sorry for my rant listener :)

Adams Rubble: back, reading

Eden Haiku: Sorry for the rant Adams :)

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble:well, understandable

Adams Rubble:it is hard without one

Adams Rubble: easier in a big city

 

A wish-fulfilling tree and a wardrobe mishap

 

 

Eden Haiku: A young poet I know wrote on Twitter this week : "I want a cherry tree, a writing grant and a baby."

Adams Rubble: sometimes one wants to get away from the routine

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble thinks of baby Jesus and the Cherry tree

Eden Haiku: I found her so funny, I have been creating my own list;"I want roses, a literary award and a car" :)))

Eden Haiku: But it's not as funny as hers

Eden Haiku: What would be your wish list Adams?

Adams Rubble: I would have to think about it. maybe I have everything i want right now

Eden Haiku: You are a wish-fulfilling tree Adams )) Thank you!

 

 

Adams gave me a beautiful bouquet of roses, but I forgot it’s always better to add than to wear…

 

Adams Rubble: ohh the roses did in your beautiful dress

Adams Rubble: always good to remember to add :)

Eden Haiku: Oh, I see... chat box was hiding…

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: Well, I'm finishing the session in a mesh nude :)))

Eden Haiku: Thank you so much for being here Adams.

Adams Rubble: Thank you Eden :)

Eden Haiku: Wishing you cool air and blue skies

Adams Rubble: I hope you have a good day. I enjoyed your garden party

Adams Rubble: bye for now

Eden Haiku: Bye!

After posting the log, I tested with a bigger snapshot (2542 X 1390). Can't insert image. If I drag the picture, it becomes a stamp size photo. Would anyone have a tip about how to post photos on wiki?  It used to be easy. I'm now using Second Life Viewer. Sent a ticket, but the wiki doesn't have support anymore.
