The fish tank lights are working. The fish are fine. I got a little work done.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m planning to really bear down and get going.<\/p>\n
We’ve had glorious weather: 72 to 85 degrees daytime, in August, no less. I went out and watered everything, just because I could.

Jane got a bunch of plants while I was gone: dahlias, various others. But one of the surprises is alyssum. If we turned it loose, it would take over.<\/p>\n
And since going through the family photos my mother had, and getting some more names, I confess I’ve been a little diverted by the desire to incorporate those new\u00a0 names into the family tree.<\/p>\n
Here’s a kicker: turns out one of the new ancestors\u00a0 is Peregrine Smith…who claimed to be the son of Captain John Smith and Pocohontas. Hmmn. I’m amazed.<\/p>\n
But back to my normal pace tomorrow. The weather is going to hold like this. That’s good.<\/p>\n
