We’re getting prepared for a Sunday science moment with our friends Lucie and victor. Diane harvested some Queen Anne’s lace that she found in the field and did our annual coloration experiment. It’s really simple. He put the cut flowers in colored water and they take the color out. So simple and so cool

What else to report from the day?… Oh… I reconnected with my good friend Dave that I hadn’t talked to in a long time. His wonderful wife Jean had passed away from cancer about three years ago… I knew that was coming but I hadn’t heard. It was important to touch base with him. He’s moved to Washington and is now spending his time and venting. He sounded good. Felt really good to reconnect.

The other big news is that the town installed the road cut to allow people to park in the Bombardier field across from us. It’s hard to believe that I’m in favor of this. But the alternative Was having 25 or so cars parked along the road right in front of our house… It was crazy dangerous and really destroyed the peace of our neighborhood. We’re hoping that the ability to park on the field itself will be safer and more peaceful. My thanks to the Richmond Land Trust Chair and the town for coming up with this cool compromise

OK… Time for bed. More tomorrow

Nite all, nite sam
