Yesterday I was at ALT a little after 10. Ray gave his last exam of the semester, although he has papers and tests to grade. I did some work in the office, arranging to get information about our bike ride to organizers of another ride today. I met him at Jittery Joe's at one, then went by a couple possible sponsors, and picked Ray up about 3. He had bought pizza for his class and I held the leftovers on my lap. Unfortunately, I felt obliged to eat two pieces cold on our way home.

We were home pretty early. It was warm but breezy. I felt a little uncomfortable from eating the pizza and neither of us did much. We sat on the porch and admired the chickens, the dog and the gardens. Eventually, I picked some chard and a few beet greens, thinning them some. No eggs at all today. A different hen is broody now and won't leave the nest box, except when I pick her up and put her on the ground.

Ray and I worked together to make noodles with Swiss chard and mushrooms (yum), and a small omelette with a few stalks of asparagus. It's still pretty fun to eat what you grow yourself. Bought things do not have as much appeal for me right now.

We had a quiet evening watching TV, and went to bed about 10. I slept well, not waking up until 6:30, when the sun was about to show over the horizon.
