Not wildly productive today, although we did have an exciting trip to the True Value store. Ron needed a battery. I browsed. I found – MUCHO excitement here – half gallon jars. I am the owner of some, now down to five of them. Very perfect for storing soup or red stuff etc in the frig or for storing a lot of flour or sugar etc. I hadn’t seen them in eons, had thought about this recently, and now here they were. And 6 cost about the same as a dozen quart jars. Go figure. It’s like Mason/Ball charges by volume rather than type or size. And these are wide mouthed jars. Can you tell I bought both boxes they had out? Yes, I’m a happy camper.

I also got two new bird feeders. Hopefully the birdies will return tomorrow.

Tonight I made some spicy lentil soup with rice – sort of a tomato-y base. And I made a double batch of ginger snaps.

Tomorrow – a small sign up sheet that starts off:
