I am enjoying the cooler weather. I can sit in the early morning dark with the window open and listen to the sounds of town. A few birds chatter even in the dark, though the moon this morning is bright enough it does not really feel like night.

I had a busy yesterday. I began with a short run (working at building my stamina/mileage). Then I went and picked up some new shoes as my old ones were kaputski. Then I picked up some pansies on sale along with a few moms and planted them all. 100 pansies, so the few spaces we have should be overcrowded very soon with blooms and such. The moms are beautiful, though they will likely not last more than a month at best. Still, they were on sale for 5 bucks a pot so the two pots were a decent investment for the time they will bloom.

I spent the afternoon at the library shelving books. They were short handed and were glad of my assistance. Kind of interesting seeing the kinds of books that are in the library.

Today I will go for another short run, probably won't do a longer run until I feel comfortable with these short ones again. Maybe another week or two before I begin increasing my mileage/time. I am enjoying being back on the trail again.

Tomorrow I haul Carol off to the airport, she is off to a convention for a couple of days.

I did finish double digging my first wee plot and will likely begin another one this week. The first one is not going to work too well for a garden as it does not get full sun until late in the afternoon. I started with it as it had been pre-dug, at least in part, therefore, making my job easier. Still, I would love a larger plot for next summer. I figure if I can dig a 1' by 4' section every other day, I should have a rather large plot by the spring. Although, the soil is harder here than up north, I do believe it is more fertile. It definitely has no rocks!!
