Today, there is no rain and no cold. It is a good day for photos. We are going to Vermont briefly to help a friend who needs her house and dog cared for while she gets some medical tests. We will be back after lunch. I might be playing chess with Ian McRae tonight.

I can’t wait to kick his ass. (That will make him crazy.)

I’ll post about this later, but Sarah Harrington’s food picks for the children of the Cambridge Pantry will be SpaghettiO’s and Children’s shampoo. Both are things the pantry kids need badly.

You can see and donate both of these right here. When we get back, I’ll also post about them. The shampoo costs $22.68 for a pack of 6, and the SpaghettiO dinner costs $11.44 for a pack of 12.

These purchases are for the children of the pantry guests.

Our solar panel was an excellent move. The electricity bill is way down, and the donkeys have a nice place to graze in the shade.

Two heads are better than one—our garden Head in the mirror.

The first Pansie is thriving in my garden bed.

Fate running
