We had a walk and let the chickens out. They are pretty reliably producing 2 eggs these days. It was the most wonderful pleasantly cool morning--in the 60s and low 70s. But still dry as a bone. I watered some. We left in a tizz, because we were late (Ray has a 9:30 class on Tuesdays), and Ray couldn't find his keys. So we left the chickens out.

I spent a couple hours at the Land Trust, sending out the press release and entering more data. Then I had lunch with Becky. At a very nice Italian restaurant that was a little odd...for instance, we asked about olive oil for the bread and there was a charge of .65...but they brought butter for free, only after we asked. The soup was excellent, but the salad dressing was not, and there was too much of it. There was a great lunch special for $9.99. Anyway, we had fun. I got back to the Land Trust for the staff meeting and have to try to find some volunteers for tomorrow afternoon.

I picked up Ray and we stopped by Cofers. By now, it was 90 out and they had not turned on the air conditioning--I guess because it was so cool in the morning. I bought some broccoli and spinach seeds.

Back home, the chickens were fine. I read some in the governance book (it was supposed to be finished by the meeting last night) and made a vegetable melange for supper, using some old eggplants and squash and peppers and tomatoes up. It was pretty tasty, too. Ray really liked it. I was just thrilled to salvage the veggies.

The governance meeting ran from 7:30 to 9:45 and was mildly frustrating, not a lot of direction. I think we could easily have accomplished all we did in an hour or so.

One TV show and then bed.
