Kate’s pain continues.\u00a0 “I don’t even\u00a0 feel guilty about not going into work today,” she said.\u00a0 Whoa.\u00a0 That says it all.<\/p>\n

The gradual slide toward fall, now most noticeable in the changed angle of the sun and the decreasing average highs, has energized me.\u00a0\u00a0 The trench for the electrical wiring linking the honey house (in process) to the grandkids playhouse has soil over the wiring now.\u00a0 The trench had to be redug where Vega and Rigel had prematurely pushed soil back into the trench.\u00a0 That was work for an adze, work done while kneeling spread wide over the trench.\u00a0 A wide stance, I guess you could say.<\/p>\n
