Day 735-September 5, 2014

     Three more days already.  My neighbor Dan and I were laughing yesterday morn, "Didn't I just pay my yearly post office box fee?"  Each day is still savored as a gift.  Half days at the mill are kind of nice, time to do things at home too.  Yesterday I had a delightful hour in fourth grade at Bell Hill.       

Wednesday I had a nice caprese plate ready for Fred and Jeff with a cold beer.  Jeff's helping with our bridge rebuild.  Yesterday I pulled 16 penny nails from reclaimed 2x12s.  I get more confident with the hammer after each swing.
     Pop treated the five of us to their favorite Mexican restaurant, Casa Lupe, in Yuba City.  It was a fun little evening adventure.  I like our favorite in Wheatland better.

     Today I planted a patch of peas.  Seeds were three different sources, from Costco this year, saved from my '10 bounty, and an '05 seed pack.

Scratching about and pulling and digging put a smile on my face.  I headed to the mill about 11 to stack about 600 pieces.  After work, Fred and Jeff worked on our bridge, I made more cucumber soup.  

Fred surprised me with a nice double IPA from Pennsylvania, Dirt Wolf.  Nice connection to the garden!
