Saturday morning! It's always been a time of possibilities--what fun things will happen today? Yesterday I was home and got my preparations done for my Monday class. I also went to a Kenney Ridge finance committee meeting. Thursday's board meeting was pretty intense. We can't get anything done because the president has strong opinions that are different from everyone else's. Some members of the community doen't think we should obsess about the bylaws. They don't want a lot of complicated rules and regulations--they want to go back to a simpler time...sound familiar? But the lack of clear rules and procedures makes it hard to get anything done, so we keep spinning our wheels.

The weather has been lovely, cool at night, sunny in the middle of the day. Yesterday it was downright warm, in the mid to high 70s. There was some thunder, but I don't think it rained. My Dad was here for a while both days, but hasn't done much in the garden.

The big news is the missing chicken showed up again when I went out about 5. There were three chickens in my front yard! I wanted to hug her, but they are not much into that.

I have been making things with our homemade sausage all week, since we thawed a great big package of it--5 pounds! Yesterday I cooked it in the crock pot with eggplant and zucchini and onion and tomato--sort of a ratatouille with sausage. That might be the best. Thursday night was sausage and sweet potatoes and apples baked. That was better than I expected. We have lots of sweet potatoes, but they have been eaten by something, so the biggest ones have big bites out of them (or lots of little bites). Mice or chipmunks?

Last night we worked at Town and Gown, selling tickets and concessions during the show, See How They Run. It was quite funny, but maybe not their best work. People near me were laughing a lot, so maybe I just wasn't in the mood.
