We have a nice morning ritual these days.. we sit out in the back yard , drink coffee, listen to birds.. and pick fruit and veggies.

today DIane found a tomato with an “S” bite taken out of it.. Always nice to see things like that..

I wish I could talk more about my work here.. but I can’t. I’m really enjoying it these days.. nothing makes me happier than having dirty hands by the end of the day.

Played hooky today .. worked at home non the morning.. then DIane and I met Ben and Wiki for a sail.. This time we did it like real sailors using real words.. ‘not like .. hey you, pul the blue rope’

Super nice being out there.. We ate well , had great conversations.. and just relaxed ..

You know they say the only thing better than owning a boat is having friends with a boat…

and these freinds are sooooo nice !

Busy day at work.. After dinner we took a walk down to begins hole.. On the way there we ran in to our friend Phil and his GF on the road,. We hadn’t seen Phil in a bout a year.. and lots ha happened in his life since then. we spent some time catching up

River side is still messed up

It’s gonna take a while !

Began the day with a 7-ish mile hike up the catamount trail and down Honey Hollow. Honey Hollow road was marked as closed.. we saw clearly why.. the road is washed out in sooo many places. !

As always, we took a nice long look at the Wootons place.. it’s clearly cut off from cars now

Later that afternoon, our former neighbor’s Sammy  and her family and her mom and our long time friend Barb came over  for a short small science party..   Sammy and her  Husband Soli have 4 kids .. the older ones are super into science. 

We did Elephant toothpaste and smoke rings again.. Good fun

Later that evening we took another walk to survey the damage..

Damage its profound.. still beautiful though..
