The days and lights of Chanukah are starting to run together.  The fourth and fifth nights featured friends (Joyce and Allie and Billie the adorable dog), lots of good food and drinks, and gifts for everyone.  I walked to Avdi’s one day, spent the night, and even got to garden a little.  It’s been raining on and off for days, so I can’t do much outside, but there’s never a lack of work to do inside, to burn off some of the home baking calories.
