The stacks of paper that seem to organically grow here sit back and laugh heartily when Don remarks on my progress. :) It's a running battle. There are notes I need to write down somewhere, then the scrap of paper can go . . .

I'm whittling down the food containers in the fridge; my freezers are both frost free now (though the little bar fridge that holds the overflow I think has a small glacier in the top I might take a look at.) Until a few years ago I had a huge midcentury Harvest Gold freezer that needed defrosting at least once a year. It always looked so new and amazing when I finished. When it died (or when the coils got so clogged with dog hair that I never thought to vacuum out) at about age 50 I replaced it. It was time, I did worry about it failing.

This week I picked up a new brand and type of tuna, this one a solid white albacore from Costco; I'm so accustomed to the shredded salty cheap stuff (Starkist, etc.) that this is a surprise. It's dense and you can actually tell it's part of a fish. Plus - I need to add some of my Nu Salt to the sandwich filling because the tuna I've eaten all of my life was apparently pretty salty. The diet adjustments are proceeding.

I need to offer a couple of plants to friends on Facebook, and if no one speaks up I'll put them on the freecycle or the FB buy nothing page. I dig up a few vitex trees each year (that sprouted in the flower beds) because someone usually wants one, and I also have some scarlet-blooming Salvia greggii that was extra.
