Time away


We came into Tucson today for the Classics Car Show, a huge and truly fun show that gets bigger every year. We saw a few friends who had cars in the show and the Drummonds even won 2nd place with their red and white VW Karmann Ghia convertible! (Not pictured here.)


It was a beautiful day, not too hot, just a little windy. Tonight we're having dinner with a fun group of friends who meet once a month or so. After dinner, we go to the nearest ice cream shop, so we call ourselves the "As Long as There's Gelato" club, a.k.a. ALATG. Or something like that!

We spent Saturday morning doing projects around the PPR. We fixed some loose plastic on the greenhouse and Sam installed a thermometer. At that point we discovered that the greenhouse interior was over 100 degrees, which prompted us to  change our gardening strategy! Maybe we'll save that for the days it snows!


A couple days ago I drove into town with Sam, dropped him off at work, did a couple errands (there's always errands), and then spent the morning with my friend Alta. We talked, and talked some more, drank tea and coffee, then went out and helped her son Brian chip and shred branches from several trees that came down in the monsoon storms last summer.


With gloves and ear protection, it was fun! Sam and I have a smaller chipper at the ranch and I'm piling up branches for our next session by the compost pile.

That's about it for now. I hope your weekend is going well!
