Today, June 21, is the equinox, start of summer, whatever. For some weeks I have been telling myself that on 6/21 I would change my bedding. Back on 6.281, gosh, almost a year ago? I installed my beautiful Pendleton wool blanket. Time to change, I have been thinking, and picked this date.
So the morning I hauled all my blankets, duvets, hand-crocheted throws, off the top closet shelf. Checked for moth damage (none). Folded the Pendleton neatly in its plastic carrier, and made the bed again with the gray patterned wool blanket that I bought at a craft faire on University Ave the same summer I moved in here, 2019. Also changed the throw I had on the couch in the living room.
Watered the plants, did the puzzle, and then took off on a walk to the Cal. Ave. farmers market. A walk I hadn’t taken in quite some time. Bought only some Blenheim apricots and a small number of figs because Joanne had said she would like them. Me, I’m not a fig person. Don’t like the little seeds.
Ran an AV event, a lecture by CH resident Dennis, on whether there’s life on Mars. (“Maybe”) It included some info on the way that NASA handled the first Lunar samples that were brought back by the Apollo astronauts in the early 1970s. He was an NASA employee then and worked in the containment lab.
