Oh happy day

Began with a swell climbing session, went on to a nice visit to the local farmers' market, where I obtained an organic tomatillo plant; I've been seeing these prolifically growing all over town for some years, and have always wanted to try to raise them. The guy who brings organic meats and potatoes winced a bit when I told him we had about a dozen spud hills in our patch, and said they always tell people not to grow too many, since they will offer around two dozen different kinds by late summer, early fall. But it's fun to dig up your own, so we will have no shortage of potatoes. May have to sell them at some kid's lemonade stand.
The lovely clouds only exuded a trace of rain, but it felt wonderfully refreshing. Afterwards, there was a pair of hummingbirds executing a series of helical maneuvers which had to be part of a mating ritual, since they weren't trying to stab one another. They wove in and around our big mock orange bush, then vanished.
