Slow progress, but some

altivoFinished the silk job, it needed to be done by Thursday. Definitely the finest thread I've ever spun, at well over 40 wraps per inch, or 3500 yards to the pound by weight. This is getting close to heavy sewing thread.
Tess is starting to get the idea that when I take her out to graze, it will only be for a short time and then she has to come back in. She doesn't like that, and it's amazing how much grass she can scarf in 15 or 20 minutes, but at least she came back inside without a big argument today. We both dislike this, but it's doctor's orders for her and sure beats foundering. Next week I'll let her go up to 30 minutes and then 45 unless we get a lot of rain.
John should be here to trim her feet tomorrow morning. They're getting long and she needs it.
We have cantalopes and winter squash shaping up now, and lots of green tomatoes. I just know they'll all get ripe at once and I'll be giving them away because we can't eat them fast enough.
Storm warnings and watches on the radio all afternoon, but the sun never even disappeared here.
