Continued updating the drafts of chapters 6 thru 15, adding hooks, dialogue, and tightening up wording. It is a slow slog at best!

On the environmental green front the following is reported – growing things in the yard include cucumber, lettuce, and cantaloupe seeds sprouting; strawberries, boysenberries, grapes, and blackberries forming; tomatoes, basil, and onions sprouting. Among the critters sighted: robins and rabbits; squirrels, sparrows and salamanders; cardinals and chipmunks; finches and fish; and chickadees and chipmunks. Glad we don’t use chemicals.
