sweet potatoes, lima beans in back

It was a pleasantly cool and damp morning. The veggies in the garden look very good. Ray and I took a short walk before heading to pilates.

Then we went to campus to be part of a walk for Global Warming, affiliated with 350.org. We couldn't stay long, though, because we had to come home and change for Gloria's sister's memorial service at 1. We brought the cupcakes and got there a litle early, but everyone else was already there. It was a beautiful afternoon. There were lots of flowers and food and a TV set up to show slides of Trish. Plenty of food--Kasey's boyfriend had smoked pork for barbecue and there was also chicken from Zaxby's. Potato chips, buns, sauces, and tons of sweets of all kinds. Barbara Guyer made a delicious cake--black forest with nuts. And a big fruit bowl as well as strawberries dipped in white chocolate. But not one veggie.

We were home about 3 and I was too tired to do anything the rest of the day--sat and read email and generally rested. It was a little hot to go out. Eventually, I cooked us some squash and Ray sauteed cherry tomatoes, so we had some vegetables for the day and watched TV.
