Good morning from GH. It is just past 7:30 a.m. in "The City." Since I opted not to get up until now, my usual greeting seemed inappropriate. At any rate, it is now daylight savings time, so your clock should be one hour ahead of where it was yesterday. Here, the sun will be rising at 8:00 a.m. and setting at 7:50 p.m.

We have a current temperature of 47° that feels like 43° as we head towards today's rainy high of 49°. Those showers will begin in earnest after the noon hour and get more intense as the day wears on. We had plans to go out to the gardens of the Palatial Estate, but it looks like those are on hold.

We were fortunate yesterday, as our neighbor has a rototiller and used it to effectively blend our winter cover crop into the soil. Since the crop we planted was/is rye grass, it will be a great green fertilizer.

Elsewhere, we traveled to the Post yesterday for the Pub and Grub fundraiser. We only had some adult libations as they had nothing vegan in the food mix. Sally is still under the weather.

STWD and I took the morning walk solo as Mary traveled downtown to run some errands, including a stop at the Baker's Wife, for a loaf of bread and a baguette.. A good division of duties. When I got back, I julienned some carrots for the veggie sandwiches that Mary made on the baguette for lunch. Carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and for me vegan cheese, were coupled with some vegan ham slices and giardiniera. As a side, Mary made Coleslaw that was her best to date, at least in my opinion.  Dinner was a vegetarian burrito from JWs. When coupled with the salsa and the red sauce, it was delicious. Both Mary and I like it the best of all the burritos in "The City."

Before we went out for the afternoon, we had a nice conversation with Mary's brother, Ed.

Today, instead of gardening, we will be staying in, doing some household chores, and watching CBS Sunday Morning downstairs, Mary has promised to use her new waffle iron for the breakfast repast. I am looking forward to that, as I've been wanting waffles for a while. With vegan margarine and pure Michigan maple syrup, they will undoubtedly be delicious.

This afternoon, we hope to go to the library for a concert by GH High School fiddle group, GOTAKS. They play a mix of Irish/Celtic fiddle tunes. It should also be great. Plus, we have a couple of books to pick up.

Otherwise, more highlighting, more reading, and more retirement, all of that after the morning safari with STWD. Ciao.
