Over The Land Is April
 







 
OVER the land is April,
Over my heart a rose;
Over the high, brown mountain
The sound of singing goes.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain,
Love, do you hear me sing?

By highway, love, and byway
The snows succeed the rose.
Over the high, brown mountain
The wind of winter blows.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain
I sound the song of spring,
I throw the flowers of spring.
Do you hear the song of spring?
Hear you the songs of spring?

Robert Louis Stevenson

DYK thanks! We went down tot he beach for lunch today, and then walked out by the water just for a little bit (Pete still has a big project due). But it was so nice to get outside. And it's hot out!

DYK so I've been research yoga studios in Seattle, and I have it narrowed down to two bikram studios, and one regular yoga studios. DO you have any recommendations? I know you've said you've heard of some, but I wasn't sure if you (or your friend who lives there) had actually gone to any of them. I'm looking at the Sweatbox and another place just called Bikram Yoga Seattle in Freemont. I'll probably just try both of them and see how I like it. I can get two weeks at one, and one week at the other before I have to start buying the expensive packages.

DYK I'm *so* excited to try it out!

dyk Sean called me to ask me if we had any plans tonight


dyk I hate when he does that, I always feel like there is a level of expectancy - like I am supposed to plan our evenings out too with as much gusto and whatnot I do the daytimes... and I am tired. lol
