altivoThe high temperature barely brushed 80°F. No rain though, and we desperately need it.
Screech owls appear to have found another playground, but we have plenty of dancing fireflies tonight.
Indian food for dinner was good. We haven't been happy with the quality of commercial mango chutneys, so I improvised one from a fresh mango, a lime, a serrano pepper, some raisins, brown sugar, salt and mustard seed. It was pretty good. Next time, more lime, some sweet onion, and a bit of fresh ginger root should make it almost perfect. Tamarind would help but haven't found a source for it. Commercial versions of "Major Grey's" that we can get are both too sweet and too mushy.
Unfamiliar black cat chasing fireflies by the barn tonight so Gary went to investigate. Kitty kept a safe distance but didn't run away, followed him into the barn out of curiosity. This one will bear some watching. Not that we really need another housecat. It's been kind of nice not dealing with kitty litter and stuff the last few weeks...
