…now 14 or more of these interesting plants along the path from driveway down to lower deck.
Thanks to the bumblebees for all their pollinating work.
And, here, an afternoon visitor to the entry porch. Where are the grandkids when they’re needed?
AND, Mark and family over for future job help, AND lunch, and some Windriding.
Another lively Windrider sail. Some puffs almost lifting the boat out of the water.

Very lively Windride, from the marina around the mooring ball, and back. Should have been reefed, but more fun with full canvas.
…and Heliotrope.
Note the bee muscling into the flower. Photo of the boat by MaryEllen .
Long drive, but once it’s over, it’s over.
…tomato, pear, apple.
…and, for lunch…
…amongst a limited infestation of weeds. Pretty good crop, the balance of which to be picked and pickled come October.
Quite a bit of necessary pruning today, too.
Mad dash for haircuts, mail, yard and garden check , and essential supplies.
Flat calm at bedtime, roaring surf at 4 am. Some people got surprised. Coffee with the Ellen’s, cocktails at Pinebox. No swimming, sailing, or paddling, but who cares given everything else?

And, for breakfast, the world famous Bear omelette.
Limitless volunteer goldenrod, thrumming with life, right off the main deck. Perhaps a half dozen different pollinators very busy at work.
Sand tools and bug nets put away.
…Windrider vs 29 foot high performance cruiser (being singlehanded).
We we’re headed out towards Gooseberry when we caught sight of a boat coming down the bay towards the marina. Upon closing we turned, and the race was on.
Wind going light prevented our victory.
Cloudy, sunny, warm and cool, here and there.
…but so what?
…on a warm and sunny day.

…after what on this end seemed like a great week. Always a sad time, but one that reminds you to look forward.

…but everything shoehorned in.
…after a nice morning. And, of course, rain day equals pizza day.
Over an inch of rain wins the bet Bubbas out of luck
The bet was less than halve an inch of rain or more. Bubba bet less he lost but the forest gained.
Thanks to Maddie for the help on the blogs
And the wild rumpus starts
