Beaver: Two farm markets - not much I needed or wanted. Bought 4 Somosas from two young lads and ate two for lunch - then had a long nap! Too much! Stopped in to visit my friend at the Carriage House- where she sells my pottery - still has quite a bit so best I did not bring more! We had a good visit - first in a long while. Then I stopped at the first Market on way home and got some nice green beans - "I need something green!" They were packing up and glad to sell one more thing. At one market I was chatting with a fellow who lives near where I used to - cousin to my two sister/friends. His family are long term, prob a couple hundred years - I knew his parents - think I wrote up their 50the wedding anniversary for the local paper - in the 90s! He has taken on the old family farm and is rehabbing it and is raising and selling pork and beef. Guess I can get the scoop on Weds when I see the sisters/cousins. The house is getting a bit more organized. Larry checked before he left: Does anything need fixing? He fixed the door that would not stay shut - Sue asked him! I was not worried. Good neighbours!! I realized yesterday that anyone passing on the road - 20 feet away - can look in the front window and see right through and out the back windows. That would be less than 6 a day who pass by! And nothing in the house that could not be bought at a thrift shop for $20! The computer is not there unless I am! I have lived in an unlocked house most of my life - in rural areas. This area is still OK. Glad that Charmion can put red oak floors in her new home - that it is still available. I remember putting it in the home we built in 1961. Got it down in time to put up a nice big Christmas tree -for the house my Dad and I designed and that we all participated in the building. I can still pick up things that drop on the floor - very carefully! But not lay a floor! It has "cooled to 28C! Sitting in car with door open- slight, not too hot breeze. Just tolerable! Still hoping that tomorrow will be a day for potting - first thing in the am - in the cool of the morning! Those oak trees - may get moved; I cannot. It would be nice if they could get moved to the back yard; the bit of woods and field that were there have been decimated in prep for an oncoming development of condos. If anyone is curious about the wedding of my grandson, pics are posted on the FB page of Sarah Bacerra, my granddaughter. I have not managed it.
