D.O.P.-T. (day before yesterday)

I miss the redwood tree that was slaughtered there several years ago, but the latest owners of a particular front yard across from the Sunnyvale library have done something interesting with it: after enclosing it with heavy beams and creating a roofed-over bench in the width of the fence, this year they converted most of the lawn into vegetable beds. It's attractive and the plants are healthy, although I have yet to see anyone sitting out there watching the peas, tomatoes, and chard grow.

D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

I survived the return visit to the new dentist. They really wanted me to make my next appointment be on a Tuesday, but with the adjusting back to and back away from daytime sleeping, that's my one real day off in the week, so ... Saturday again.

Peculiar way to celebrate Midsummer, but it did involve some lengthy walking in the sun.
