I’ve been hard at work.  Yesterday I opened up and edged another bed along the shed, cleaned up and raked the “woods path”, and some other paths.  I got to have some Johnny Black, and Avdi made some huge thick steaks.  The luxury.

Today I cleaned up the house and prepared the erev Rosh Hashanah (Jewish new year) meal.  I made a sweet dairy noodle kugel, a salad, sliced apples with honey for a sweet new year, and warmed up some rolls in lieu of making a special batch of challah.  I wasn’t feeling well, and Avdi was feeling really worn out, so I kept it simple and casual.  Jess helped out with kid rides, and joined us all out at the patio table to eat, as it’s been so perfect out.
