There and Here

Oh, that we could send some of our rain to the fiery places in the Southeast of the US (actually, there are fires all over the US, rain and help is needed)! Our overabundance is their lack, to devastating proportions.

Whatever your form of positive thoughts is, send them in this direction, along with rain soon come. Along with sanity for those that are starting some of these fires. Here is one local place to look for ways to help.

Around here, where we know fire well, the rains have thankfully been saturating the ground, in an almost too much fashion. But in-between, it's blue skies and bright sun. The pattern continues.

Looking back on the way to town

Sort of like the post office, the veggie stand on Tuesdays is a great place to see friends and catch up. There is always someone or more that haven't been seen for awhile to chat with, exchange cooking ideas with ("Leeks! What do you do with them?" Curly kale...that is kale, right?) and generally shoot the breeze. 

When I got home, there was a mascot on the roof, very comfortably ensconced on the forward hatch cover. He didn't stay long but he did leave a memory of his visit and has me re-thinking my water collection plans...

Have a watchful Wednesday. Do something waterborne.
