Dove

I saw a huge dove fly from my neighbor’s yard to a wire above my garden this evening. It was absolutely beautiful.

I also enjoyed a wonderful treat today: I pulled a ripe tomato out of the garden and ate it without even bothering to rinse it off. It was warm and juicy and tasted like summer.

I’ve got to get out there tomorrow afternoon and thin those vines and feed them some seaweed tea and worm castings and see if I can’t revive them a bit. They’re looking pretty ragged and getting pretty unproductive, but I think if I baby them a little, they’ll have time to recover and produce a little more fruit before the end of summer.

I logged 3.85 miles on the treadmill at the gym yesterday. I have an 8.5-mile run first thing in the morning, so I need to get to bed. I am NOT looking forward to getting up and jogging, but at least we’re starting early, and it’s not supposed to get hot until well after we finish. I hope that forecast is right. Maybe if we get done before 9, I can coax Ron into taking me to Ollie’s for breakfast. Their buffet is nice for refueling after a long run.
