henna day post

I am hennaing my hair on a mild LA afternoon. The bottlebrush trees are beginning to bloom, but the jacarandas are getting a later start than they did last year. Possibly allergies from stuff blooming are the reason I've been dealing with some minor vertigo for the past week or so. I hope it ceases soon.

I'm still slowly reading the wonderful Emily Wilson Odyssey translation, and I've started Dorothy B. Hughes's In a Lonely Place (which I hadn't realized would be so different from the film).
