Day 740- September 10, 2014

     Oops, I over watered the garden again.  The tomatoes are on the verge of bounty.  The little acorn squash continue to form.  I'm keeping the peas moist, and should see them poking through any day now.  Time to pick raspberries again, I'm putting down lumber wrap, then sawdust for the weeds around that area.  
     I visited Janet Miller to share my feedback on her children's adventure novel, The Treasure of Zeno Archimedes Smith.  I feel privileged to be a part of her project, writing a book is no small task.
     Tuesday morn the power was cut to the mill for the installation of a new pole.  Thus, a nice afternoon bicycle ride from White Cloud to Skillman.  

Eddie's chain broke, so we didn't quite make our destination, but I didn't mind.  I was getting tired on the way back!  This is part of Root Hill, a gnarly walking spot on the trail.  

Mark had the right part to fix the chain.  We sat on the patio at Harmony Ridge Market for about an hour before the fellas dropped me at Northridge to meet my F'n friends.  

I was delighted to be greeted by Chloe Donnelly, a former first grader, now a senior.  She is a senior, and she still enjoys writing.  I'll find some of her writing, and go back to see her.

     On Wednesday, I went to yoga class.  I'm always grateful for that opportunity.  Once home, I washed my hair, got it in curlers, marched down to the neighbor's to trade raspberries, which I had picked in the morning, for basil.  I trudged back up the hill with basil, green beans, juicy peaches, and blackberry cookie cupcakes. To quote Eric, "To die for..."  Good trade for me, generous neighbor Stephanie is a treasure.  I made tomato sauce with a bag of tomatoes from the DeMartini's.  I found room in the cramped freezer.
