Another storm overnight, a bit of rain, and an overcast day today. After the drive to donate art supplies and a side trip to Costco (with a list in my pocket because the things I need there are scattered all over the store) I'll work on the plantings.

Daughter-in-law reported last night on a drive she wants to make today while my daughter is at a conference; they are in the Pacific NW for that conference and vacation. It dawned on me this morning that the town she wants to visit is east of the next mountain pass north from where they're staying, and it's a long way around when you have a very large mountain range in between. (Draw a rectangle that is wider than it is tall. Put an X on the lower left corner and one on the upper right corner. That is what her drive will look like, one of those routes.) Luddite me, I always carry a map, but she'll be out in the boonies away from cell towers if she's traveling via GPS. Fingers crossed it goes well.

Evenings this weekend need to be used for some computer stuff, because I must finally get the new external hard drive connected and get a full backup. It's about time to upgrade the computer to Win11 and the backup is for just-in-case. That will kill a weekend when it happens.
