Dry September until now.

Well under one quarter inch of rain before today is rare at the end of September.

Even with the four hours of precipitation total for the month will still end below typical.

Walking onions!

We had seven gardens and now I have a small patio area full of crushed stones.

With patience I dig down to dirt and now grow my onions in crushed stone.

Nap, walk, eat less rather than more.

The first I do without guilt. The second allows me to boast. True in subzero temperatures. The third remains my challenge.

Thanks for various phone and email wishes.

Siblings, friends and family called or sent notes.
My birthday task is to walk every day.

I did so this morning! Log the day in my daily line by line book, walk and send a letter at least weekly.

I am now starting on year seventy four. Two days in and counting. dlj/ 9/5/2019
