Yes, supervising is essential. And don't let them turn pieces to the wall when they set them in a room - that can mean they're hiding damage* that you won't see until later.

Trash day today and I stepped out to do a little trimming (despite our orange air alert) and decided to use the battery hedge trimmer to reduce the volume on the juniper out front and drop the trimmings in the trash. Rookie move when without thinking I reached up to grab something I'd trimmed and bumped my glove with the trimmer. Even battery trimmers cut and this little nick through the glove smarts, so my mantra when using this will be something like "keep both hands on the battery end."

I gave away a jar of pickles yesterday and while I still have plenty I need to make another batch today. Three or four weeks out from when they're jarred they're particularly good and they can keep for a couple of months so I'll be eating these into at least November. I'll start delivering the first batch of pickled okra to neighbors on both sides of me. The neighbor across the street with diverticulitis is not supposed to eat seeds and okra has big ones or I'd take her some also.

*Ask me how I know. The now-ex was ignoring what they were doing when I was off tending to a toddler at the short-term apartment.
