Today is one for hopefully equal amounts of offload and pickup. A haircut will be welcome, and after that I'll head south on a route past my old university to visit a couple of stores and a thrift shop. Looking for the 8x8 pan still, but also looking for puzzles. I'm taking some back to donate to the thrift store, where I'd like to pick up 3 or 4 new-to-me ones. Shopping the Halal grocery for Basmati rice and fresh Iraqi bread. I'm out of pita and that doesn't bode well for the eggplants in my garden (babaghanouj).

A quart bag of okra is going to my hairdresser, she requested fresh, not pickled. I'm about at the end of all of that picking. A few more today and maybe fried okra with dinner, then it's time to let these puppies go completely to seed.

It looks like the rain missed us so far today. I have a list of people who will take some of the extra plants once I can dig them up.
