Cooling Down

It's that time again, with cool nights and perfect days. Dave lit the gas logs
and switched directions for the ceiling fans, and I wore socks to bed. Kind of nice for a change to be toasty under the covers.

I might talk myself into working in the garden soon, transplanting and dividing perennials, as soon as the earth dries out a bit more.

The tomatoes are still producing and if I don't get them picked immediately they rot on the vine. Brandywines have such a thin skin and the racoons love just a little taste, daily, leaving the rest of the tomato alone. Grrrr. Lots of peppers are getting ripe too. Doesn't this seem late to you? Well, we have a funny climate up on the mountain.

It's knitting meeting today and I have several projects in the works. I really like this yarn, Trekking XXL and for this pair I used an afterthought heel, which is replaceable if it should get holey. What a great invention. Toes can work the same way. I'd rather unravel and reknit than darn.

We did not have cheesecake after all yesterday and are postponing til the weekend when we will go to my sister's house for the party. And I got my bloodwork report and must seriously pay attention to lowering my cholesterol. Nix on the cheesecake idea, and bring on the oatmeal. Hrumpf.
And we did not go back upstate to retrieve the motorcycle yesterday either. We found a Kawasaki dealer who was willing to pick up the bike from the towing company and will assess the damage and let us know. This saves us the daily fee for storage. It may be scrap or it may be fixable, but whatever, it will not be coming back home.

Dave has focused his attention on playing the guitar and the borrowed keyboard at full volume, so I am sure he will enjoy my absence and hovering today.
