A fine day to be outdoors.

Pax took Nik and me on the big loop walk (with a detour to SweetSpot), and along the way we enjoyed identifying a variety of invasive plants (and some nice ones, too).

Back home, it was a massive tomato harvest. Then, after noon clearing the jungle that used to be a herb garden and will now be repurposed as a plot of edible shrubs (blueberries, etc.) Then there was the cooking—zucchini/onion/tomato hot dish, grilled tomato soup, and rosemary/lime chicken. Pretty much all local and all incredibly delicious. Local musk melon with ice cream coming up for dessert.

While dining we received the following email:

Hi Everyone.
