Dupont:

Managed to go to Beaver for a couple days - Drove there on Thurs and back on Sunday. That is really foolish. I really misjudged the time - could have stayed a few more days but did not take the pills I needed. I had a vigorous social life on Sat and picked up a quantity of our fav muffins and some scones from the Hidden Gold Mine. now frozen. Been resting since Sunday!

Most importantly, I did the "winterizing" and neighbour Larry came by so I could show him the glazing materials so he can use them when he gets to that point in his potting life. I had to take the unfired pots out of the kiln and back into the heated room. I still have hopes of filling that kiln but it is a year now. My energy level just doesn't make it.

But I am still trying- about 20 min of garden work and trips for groceries, would like to go for walks on Isle St. Bernard; the air off the River is wonderful -- and just a few weeks until snow! I cannot risk falling and being useless again.

Toyota dealer sent a text reminding it is time to change tires so I must make an appointment tomorrow to get one before snow time.
