plumtreeblossomOn Saturday, I finally got to try absinthe, courtesy of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pheromone. It has an intense anise flavor, sweet and strong even when diluted according to instruction. It is green and full of magic potion mystique, though the magic is in the alcohol. Take care with your portion size; its proof is nearly twice that of ordinary hard liquors. Even with my hollow leg, just one lowball glass serving got me drunk. The taste is summery and vaguely naughty. beowabbit, we must procure a bottle or two.
Yesterday found a few of us in Davis, enjoying the Somerville Memorial Day Parade. After all these years living here, this was my first Somerville parade. It was old-timey and a lot of fun to watch.warlord_mit had his parent's dog along, a fearsome tiny-breed mix named Ashley, who guarded us from the parade's trecherous Giant Dogs (horses).
By evening I was pretty spent, but I had the energy to plant the packets of wildflower seeds in our front yard, which further inspired me to order more seeds online. If they come up, we'll no longer have the ugliest yard on the street, I dare speculate.
