The salmon is in the house. So is the shrimp. And ice. Plus beer, NA, diet pop and bottled water (for entertaining purposes only). We have the leaves in the dining room table, the first time since we bought the table a year ago. It’s long. Really long. Kate has the triangle of refrigerator, sink, stove cordoned off and wants no helpers in there. I don’t think anybody will fight her for the privilege.
Who said late August had no heat. Not this guy. With 90 and dewpoint at 59 outside dining stretches the Minnesota tolerance limits. Good thing we have air conditioning and tables inside, too.
Got an Amazon order. A couple of things that look fun. Reading the OED, a guy who read the entire OED in one year. Also, the Landmark Herodotus, an annotated version of the Histories. There’s something about history and historiography that fascinates me.
My first two tours of the new academic year have come in over the transom. 4th graders from Lakeville who want to see things Made In America and an MIA patron who wants a tour with an emphasis on Korea. Be good to strap back into the harness and pull a wagon or two.
I’m off to sweep the patio and arrange furniture.
