Dupont:

More wonderful rain last night and cooled enough for a light quilt. A friend in Ottawa complained about the amount of rain! So I walked down to the river and reported back that it could use a great deal more - basically, stop complaining and think Vancouver! The whole world needs more rain - well, most of it does!

So, I went out to the back garden, built on bags of soil bought last year. Only the top couple inches are wet!

Trip to the Library yesterday resulted in finding some books and then not finding my card - GONE from my wallet. The nice staff put the books aside for me; as the card is in R's name, I could not just present ID.

This am R went with me and we found the card had expired so we had to come home and get residential proof and go back and get the precious card! He went to work and I retrieved the five carefully chosen books and came home. It only about 8 minutes each way.

My gut is,finally, about normal - after two difficult years. And R seems to have eaten something in the city that created a maladjustment for a couple days. But it is cool in the house!! And outside too!
