Hello from the library. The gardens are full of weeds (perennial beds) and mature and baby veggies. We have basic telephone service. Sleep is elusive and yes, Sins, the Canadian wildfire smoke was disturbing. We haven't heard any updates, and are hoping our Canadian neighbors and friends are safe and well, and that the fires are all under control or completely out.

We've been working on geting things settled in the camper, getting things cleared out of the apartment, and planting 'potting up trees, seeds, and perennials for the farm stand. Our local helpers for the fire clean-up have things of their own to which they must tend, so no progress on the clean-up. It's too dangerous for me to work alone in the ruin, and Truelove is, of course, working long hours at work.

Thanks for remembering us.

Warm regards to friends here,

maeve
