This drive to San Marcos was even better than the last, possibly because it was sunny. Oh, and I agreed to make soap.

Lunch with the lovely Lady Catelin has made my soul light. We lunched and visited the Bear, and came away with many treasures. I have a most fascinating cross to hang on my wall, made of steel nails and wrapped in copper wire. It has a nice heft. Something to kill demons with, I think. A lovely afternoon, brimming with anticipation of things to come as a real spring arrives. I want to work in the garden, and make soap.

Drove home with the sun on my left shoulder and the radio on loud. Tonight we're gathering for another trip to see The Lord of the Rings. I have a mad desire for the special edition soundtrack, with all its elvish writing.

The oddest thing. I saw an owl in broad daylight. Sitting atop a sign with a flock of birds. An owl, in broad daylight. Strange. It was dark brown, with a white face. I wonder if they nest in the gothic arches of the highway.
