it's still busy at home and at work. being away 3 wkends in a row was important but a tad brutal. it will be nice to be home all the way through next week. things are shaking out a bit at work: rabbi goes on sabbatical; we enter the last few days of the holiday of Shavuot (bring on the blintzes, 8 AM on Friday morning). an all night (well 10 pm - 1 am) study session at Congregation Sinai tomorrow. gotta go to that. i miss text study and intellectual engagement a lot. there is rarely time.
the fence is starting to be rebuilt. need to leave a note for the across the fence neighbors because it will require getting on to their property and i promised i would do the advance work. i can drop it off on the walk tomorrow morning. and i have a salad garden: 4 kinds of tomatoes, red peppers and japanese cucumbers. 70 days from now call to see if things are being harvested. apricots are nuts again this year but the designer confirmed: no peaches or nectarines at all in the back. hmmmmmm.
well plenty late. tomorrow is another busy day and then there are the blintzes on friday.
catch the sliver of the moon. it is really lovely.
i'm a bit concerned about the nighttime walks, having read in the paper about two attacks at the major intersection near here. and then i heard helicopters last night. better to be cautious.
