Those two buckets, with a little arm twisting, brought in $97 for the Library Staff Association. I hope it set a good example. And after this gesture I had enough room in my fridge to bring home a whole fryer. I probably had 20 pounds of tomatoes there, plus some zucchini, bags of rosemary, a bag of cherry tomatoes and a few green bell peppers. If a few of us did this during the growing season, we'd encourage healthy eating and have a healthy budget for the group.

Now that I'm back the floor is cluttered with dogs. It is about 103 now and supposed to gain a couple more degrees. When they come in they're like little ovens, gushing hot air.
