So much to report on, so little time!  I guess that’s a good thing.

So Rosh Hashanah happened, with lots of baking and cooking and the usual lively bustle of activities.  E made a beautiful honey cake that was also very edible!  (Unlike some I’ve had!)  I made the traditional round challot.  We all collaborated on the menus.

My latest garden accomplishment was to clean up the so-called asparagus bed–there were actually some asparagus ferns under there, doing well.  So now the perennial veg/fruit area has been mostly liberated from weeds, and hopefully by spring will be regenerating.  Work in progress.

As is the fox mask by Y, part of a costume creation for the RenFest.  They really are very creative.

Last but not least, I got to go to a Thievery Corporation concert at The Pageant on Delmar with Avdi!  It was a fantastic experience.  Inside the venue is the Halo Bar, where we got drinks to bring into the concert.  We met a young couple whom we invited to join us at our table, and we all got to be friends by the end.  The concert, opened by LuSiD, was spectacular, and very engaging.  I was so energized by the end (with a little help from some good stuff with our friends!) that I forgot I was old for a moment!  It was totally euphoric, like swimming.
