Late Harvest

Some say it was the cool weather in August, or the lack of sunshine from those smokey days of those terrible wildfires, but in my yard at least, most every crop has come on very slowly. Except the cucumbers. And they're still going strong, so much so that some neighbors walk away rather quickly when they see me with one, or two, or six in my hands. I guess it could be worse - they could go hide when they see me around empty-handed...

"Art" in Action

So last Wednesday we went to help make banners for the "Rise for Climate" March in San Francisco, printing and then painting fabric to be mounted on poles (believe me, there were many more steps to it than just that). But it was a fun and productive afternoon, even if ink landed on a few more surfaces than originally intended - yeah, yeah, it was an old shirt, but not that old...

Yesterday at the March, we saw so many of the banners that we and many, many others helped produce. Let's just hope it can make a difference.
