The California smoke has arrived. The air is thick and the sun this afternoon was orange in the sky. I was going to do yardwork but after just a few small projects the allergies started in, or the smoke has that effect, who knows? After a good long nap on the sofa with a puppy I felt much better, but then it was time to walk the dogs before the mosquitoes came out. Maybe tomorrow.

Tonight's walk was a chance to see if the Google Fit app in the phone is set up. It looks different than the version in my old phone, but it's now tracking how far (.91 mile) and 21 minutes with the dogs. We aren't going for a land speed record and we talk to people while we're out. I'll be walking regularly now that the weather is cooler.

I didn't make it to the compost site, first I went to my favorite discount gourmet food warehouse and found fresh mushrooms so now I have the dehydrator finishing up the first batch. I'll do one more batch in the morning and then sauté and freeze any that are left. Tomorrow is the compost site, I still have all of the materials in the back of the SUV. And tomorrow is the weeding.
