Yellow summer squashBonnie's garden is providing us with a bounty of zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers. It will be difficult to eat them all before they go bad. Bonnie is planning on doing some canning and freezing after she retires. Only 5 workdays left.
Bonnie found out this past week that she is no longer borderline diabetic and must make some lifestyle changes. She sees her doctor this week and expects more tests and a discussion of how best to control her diabetes. We exercised last evening by taking a walk, and drove to a larger Kroger and Scott's in the morning to stock up on low-sugar foodstuffs she could eat. And 5 oz. of wine per day is still on the diet.
Kathy's Davis Weather Station arrives tomorrow and she is very excited about it. She has a vineyard post selected to mount it on (smack dab in the middle of the vineyard) and has recruited Denny (who shares her interest in weather) to assist in getting the station up and running. (The anemometer has to be oriented to true north and that could be a trick for one person to accomplish.) This is a wireless unit that will send all the info to a receiver in the house. The software that goes with it will then allow the data to be transferred to the laptop. We can keep excellent records of the micro climate in the vineyard. Kathy is already talking about joining a reporting group for NOAA.

Today's plan calls for (finally) hanging the vertical blinds in the dining room. Kathy also hopes to get out into the vineyard to do some hoeing.
Kathy's Uncle Bob passed away Friday night. No one could have ever had a better uncle.
