Starter for @abe-wainwright

Where: Blue Rooster Ranch

When: Present

Despite not having lived on a farm for over 30 years and never having lived on a working ranch, Gray still remembered the lessons his own weather-worn father taught him. It was the jobs fixing barbed wire, patching up pens, and laying sheets of metal roof that reminded him of his childhood. In some ways, Gray assumed the ranchers occasionally reached out to him out of respect for his old man and his family name. That was the thing about Paxton, roots ran deep, and no one was keen on ripping them out. It was half the reason why Gray refused to leave; the other half was because if Raina ever came back her home needed to be there. Gray was standing back, hands on his hips, admiring his handiwork when footsteps drew near. Gray tipped his ball cap out of respect and held out a hand. “I think we’re all good here,” he said. “Thanks for calling me. We’re headed into slow season soon, so I appreciate it.”

LIBRARIES

PAGE ONE

Panel 1

A female librarian is shelving books. An angry white man in a t-shirt and baseball cap confronts her, pointing angrily.

CAPTION: Book bans are key to Project 2025’s plans to discredit librarians and dismantle libraries. They claim:

ANGRY MAN: “Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders.” [2025, p. 5]

Panel 2

A close up of the man’s shouting face.

CAPTION: In Project 2025’s vision, “pornography” includes any content that positively represents LGBTQ people, especially trans people.

ANGRY MAN: Transgender ideology! Sex promotion!

CAPTION: To Project 2025, sex education textbooks are pornography, too. They call them “sex promotion textbooks.” [2025, p. 477]

Panel 3

An image of an ALA chart called “Censorship by the Numbers.” It shows a line graph of the “number of unique titles challenged by year.” In 2004, the number was 390; in 2014, the number was 183. But the line takes a huge jump after that: in 2021, the number was 1,858, in 2022 it was 2,571, and in 2023 it was 4,240. To the right of the chart is a book-shaped logo for “Freed Between the Lines,” and below that is this info: “Censorship on the Rise: The record-breaking number of unique titles targeted in 2023 marked a 65% increase over 2022. Prior to 2021, the average number of unique titles targeted per year was 273.”

CAPTION: The people behind Project 2025 – the Heritage Foundation – provide funding and support to groups like Moms for Liberty, an organization whose chapters advocate for book bans around the country.

CAPTION: Book bans have risen dramatically and alarmingly in recent years.

Panel 4

The angry man has been joined by another man and a woman. The second man, in a white man in a polo shirt, kicks over a book cart, sending books flying everywhere. The angry man and the woman (who is wearing sunglasses and a “Q” shirt) cheer him on.

CAPTION: And the books Moms for Liberty wants to ban from school and public libraries? Yes, the “Moms” often call them pornography.

CAPTION: Librarians don’t “purvey pornography.”

Panel 5

A silhouette of five eager hands reaching out for a book from the left side of the panel, which is being handed to them from a stack on the right side of the panel.

CAPTION: Librarians use their professional expertise to select books that “represent the broad range of human experience, reflecting the ethnic, religious, racial, and socio-economic diversity not only of the region [the library] serves but also the larger global perspective.”*

FOOTNOTE: *From the American Library Association Selection Policy Toolkit

Panel 6

An image of the cover of the graphic novel New Kid, by Jerry Craft, which features a young black boy in a hoodie and backpack writing in a blue notebook and the text “Middle school is hard enough without being the…New Kid.”

CAPTION: Project 2025 wants to stop you from reading those books.

CAPTION: Books like New Kid, Jerry Craft’s Newbery-Award-winner about a Black kid navigating a new, predominantly white school…

PAGE TWO

Panel 1

An image of the cover of the graphic novel Drama, by Raina Telgemeier, which features two Asian boys and a purple-haired white girl with a heart over her head walking across a stage.

CAPTION: …Or Raina Telgemeier’s DRAMA, about a middle-school play production, which includes LGBTQ characters…

Panel 2

An image of the cover of the picture book Read Me a Story, Stella, by Marie-Louise Gay. It features an image of a red-haired child who has climbed a tree and is hanging from a branch by her knees.

CAPTION: Or “Read Me A Story, Stella” by Marie-Louise Gay, which includes…an author whose last name is Gay.

Panel 3

An ethnically and gender diverse group of four children, all holding clouds in their hands that say “poof!”, as if the books they were reading have disappeared.

CAPTION: Project 2025 claims to support “parental rights.” What this means in practice (among other things*): if even one parent objects to a book, they’ll have the “parental right” to make it disappear.

FOOTNOTE: *See 2025, “Parental Rights in Education and Safeguarding Students,” p. 342-346

Panel 4

An image of four hands, each placing a ballot into a separate ballot box.

CAPTION: Use your right to vote. Stop Project 2025’s attacks on libraries, librarians and the freedom to read.

Fluffy February Day 26 -- AU

The Diner AU that nobody asked for!

~~

“Order up!” Bowie banged his hand down on the bell. 

Eva turned around and easily snagged the plate off the edge of the counter.  “Good timing.  Health inspector wants a peek at your kitchen.�� Remember that nasty-gram we got on the website?”

Bowie let out an ugly little curse in his native tongue.  “I’m going for my break.” 

“Hey, I’m just telling you she’s here – if she can’t find anything, what’s the problem?” Eva airily replied, turning on her rather charming smile for one Ms. Raina Temple, who was with the city health board.

“Thanks for your cooperation, Ms. Corolastor.  It shouldn’t take long.” 

Eva held open the swinging door, still gripping the platter in her hand.  “So what did they specifically say was the problem?”

“It was… a very creative complaint,” Temple said, evasively.  “It echoed the concerns voiced on the website though… there were some amendments.”

“I bet.”  Eva let Temple pass through and then let the door swing back, hoping it didn’t hit her too hard. 

Then Eva delivered her order down at the table to one of the regulars, Tanno.  He was nonverbal in the morning before coffee, and he was still working on his first carafe still.  She did get a grunt in thanks, however.

“Heeeey Cap, you got that order wrapped?  I’m about to go,” Corso said as he strutted up to the counter, fully clad in his bike gear.  “My veee-hic-ul is double parked.”

“Isn’t Guss on the back?” Eva asked as she grabbed at the packaged food and passed it over the counter, order sheet attached to it. 

“Yeah, but he will abandon ship if the meter maid comes around – I think he has a crush.”  Corso batted his eyes like he was in love. 

“More like an unhealthy fixation on some poor unsuspecting person.  Don’t let him eat the sides this time,” Eva told Corso, and he saluted her as he walked out the door.  “I still don’t know how he managed that in rush hour traffic!”

“Hell, neither do I, and I was there!” And with that, Corso was out the front door of the diner.

In through the same door was one enraged Akaavi Spar, but there was also an air of triumph about her.  “How goes the war?” Eva dared to ask.

“The raccoon is more intelligent than I anticipated.  I have achieved victory by zip-tying the trashcan shut but that presents another problem,” Akaavi dutifully reported.  She sat down at the counter.

“Like the garbage guy can’t empty the can unless he came prepped for a kidnap rescue.  Great.”  Eva hopped the counter and grabbed a fresh carafe of coffee for her night security person.  “You’ll figure it out soon.  Want the usual for your comp meal?”

“Sure.”

Eva got to work quick in the back.

When she returned with chicken and waffles, Eva was about to ask how exactly Akaavi had dealt with rude customer that left that review when a familiar set of high heels clicked down the stairs from the office.  “Morning, boss lady,” Eva called.

“It’s your diner.  I just make the ledger add up,” Risha replied.  “And we need more numbers.  We never did fully recover from the pandemic.”

“That’s because you made discontinue drunk bingo night,” Eva reminded her.  “You thought it would ‘send the wrong message’ to the new charter school that opened up.”

Risha held up her hands.  “How was I to know that parents are so … possessive that they won’t let their kid get food at a diner anymore?”

Eva couldn’t help herself.  “Instead, we have a mafia of abandoned class hamsters led by the grand poombah of a raccoon that Akaavi is in mortal combat with.” 

“You can’t blame that on me.  Are you going to call animal—”  Risha found herself with a  mouthful of one of Akaavi’s waffles.

“I do not surrender,” Akaavi sternly informed her.

“And not while the health inspector is here,” Eva added, craning her neck around to see how Temple was doing in Bowie’s kitchen.

“Hrmmmm.”  Risha took the unchewed part of the waffle out of her mouth.  Just then, the diner’s side door's bell rang. 

Only one person, other than staff, was allowed to use that door to reach his booth without attracting too much attention.

“You need to tell him to bring more of his spooky friends around,” Risha admonished Eva, shaking the waffle at her in emphasis.

“Like I need a haunted house on top of the animal revolution out back.”  Eva grabbed a menu from the counter, the now-half-filled coffee carafe, and headed over.

As usual, he looked exhausted.  He came in whenever his job let him – he travelled, a lot, from the sound of it.  But he tipped well, and he tolerated the banter. 

And when she did manage to make him smile, it was kinda worth it. 

“You’re scaring away my customers, pig,” Eva greeted him with all affection.

He raised a finger.  “Spook.  Federal.  I actually do protect people, not property.” 

Eva slid him a menu.  “I’ll comp your meal if you can help my night security person defeat an evil racoon overlord.”

The guy who told her to “just call me Theron” gave her an utterly bemused look.  “Is he smuggling drugs, trafficking people, or threatening the security of the country?”

“She might be threatening the health inspector’s report of my diner.  Which is currently ongoing due to the customer from hell.”

A smile started to snake its way from his eyes toward his mouth.  “I can make that problem … disappear.”

Eva held up her hands. “Hey now, she might have kids. She takes care of the hamsters back there, too.  I don’t want her blood on my hands.”

“The customer?”  Now Theron was utterly confused.

“No, the racoon.  You can fire that other bitch out of a cannon for all I care.”

“I was thinking more cyber – I can get rid of whatever she filed and probably make the health inspector forget your name – other than five stars on every report of course,” Theron offered, leaning back in his booth, stretching his arms across the back of the seat.  “…and you can tell Risha I can probably bring more of my crowd in, at strange hours, if you can put up with them.”

“I put up with you, coming in at all hours, never saying when you’re going to be gone,” Eva melodramatically berated him as she poured him a cup of coffee.  “If they make me worry less and tip at least half as good as you do –”

“You worry?” he interrupted her.

Eva pointedly finished pouring Theron’s coffee for him before planting the carafe down on the table.  Then she drew out her order pad.  “Yeah.  So what’ll it be?”

He smiled.  It made her feel so good she almost forgot to write down the order (he always got the same thing). 

And then he added something else to the order that was unexpected, but ENTIRELY welcome. 

~~

“Alright, so the one problem I have with the kitchen are the random hairs around.  I haven’t seen any in the food or the prep area, but there are a lot of them loose around here.  Are your workers wearing PPE?” Temple asked Risha, who had intercepted her before she interrupted Eva and her spook. 

“Absolutely.  Bowie is a consummate professional,” Risha reassured her.  The back door to the kitchen swung open.  “Here he comes.  Bowie, can you – see, he’s wearing his hairnets.”

Raina Temple faced a massive, MASSIVE hairy man.  Yes, the hair on his head and his beard were neatly tucked into hairnets, as mandated by city health.

…but there was probably no remedy for his massive, hairy arms and the hair that fought to get out of the collar of his shirt.  Bowie snapped on his gloves, which only tamped down the hair on the back of his hands.  He expectantly looked at Temple, waiting for her verdict.

Temple sighed.  “Pass.  I’ll pay for breakfast so it doesn’t look a bribe – give me your best?”

Bowie smiled with all of his bright, white teeth.  “You got it!”

Rest

for today’s prompt “Rest” by @notjustamumj

@lisbeth-kk @calaisreno @raina-at

You’ve all been so fast with filling today’s prompt! I reblogged them all around noon and had not written a single word for this. So much for increasing pressure... To be fair, I’ve completed chapter 4 of my casefic WIP and have already written for 2 hours this day. And nearly another one for this ficlet.

----

Rest

Sherlock as good as stumbled out of the train. He had gotten several hours of distance between himself and Tarek Saleh’s henchman in Istanbul after taking the first available train that left from Pendik station this night.

He was exhausted, bone-tired and his body was aching everywhere. The broken ankle throbbed with the fires of hell and yelled at him every time it had to support Sherlock’s body weight.

Still, he felt lucky that he had escaped the weapon dealer at all. Sherlock had successfully avoided to get shot, to break his neck, to get shot again and to get crushed by heavy rubbish bags.

People on the train had looked at him suspiciously. He had stood out like a sore thumb, crammed into the farthest possible corner of the non-subdivided passenger compartment. He knew that he looked like rubbish and smelled like he had taken a bath in it.

Which he literally had. His escape by getting literally dumped into the hopper of a bin lorry had been a close call, Saleh’s goons had already come very close to the skip where Sherlock had hidden.

Apparently, the stench of rotten food had soaked too deep into his skin and hair to be scrubbed away by the quick wash he had gotten in the dumpsite’s maintanance building. He had discarded his soiled clothes and stole one of the grey boiler suits but he still reeked.

His battered face and wild hair did nothing to make him presentable and he had no cap to hide the disaster. Also, his broken finger was set with an – in lack of a better word – interesting construction made of ice lolly sticks and duct tape.

Sherlock desperately needed to get access to his emergency funds, get medical supplies for his wounds, get new clothes, get practically everything else he needed to carry on hunting down Moriarty’s web.

But first of all, he needed to sleep. In the half delirious state he was in, he was prone to making mistakes and mistakes meant certain death.

Sherlock hobbled out of the Antalya’s busy train station and caught a bus that would bring him to the coast where all the tourist hotels were located. It would be quiet there this time of the year and Sherlock planned on breaking into one of the uncharitable concrete blocks that housed dozens of holiday flats.

Getting access without getting caught was tedious but he managed by using the last dregs of strength he could muster.

The flat was cold and dark with the shutters firmly closed. It smelled damp and dusty but to Sherlock it seemed like heaven. He sighed with relief when he discovered that the water had not been turned off. The shower was cold but refreshing nonetheless and he used the small rest of a forgotten bottle of shower gel to clean himself. He tore down the curtains in the living room area, using one as a towel and wrapping himself firmly in the other one. It would be enough to keep him warm and then, finally, he could let himself fall onto the bare mattress of the king-size bed.

Tomorrow, he would think about tomorrow. He had survived today, yet another day to keep John safe. But now he would rest.

---

This could be placed at the end of chapter 13 in my Whumptober fic “Learn My Scars” when Sherlock tells John about what had happened to him in Istanbul.

closed starter for RAINA ( @scmantic ) location : wherever raina lives idk

-ˋˏ ꒰ 🐚 ꒱ ── " so how exactly does that work ? " he's sitting at raina's kitchen table, fiddling with a pen, clicking the end on and off. he did come here with a purpose, really, with a question that he meant to ask her that was actually important. unfortunately he's forgotten about it, switching topics onto something else weighing on his mind : " does some sketchy british guy with a cap show up at your front door sounding like, good day, ma'am, here are your chocolates, since the ones around here aren't good enough for you. " he puts emphasis on some consonants, trying to make his own weak, underlying accent more obvious for the sake of his joke, " why wouldn't everyone just order chocolate from overseas if the ones from home are that much better ? "

Jayden Emberson TV Tropes

Warning: This will contain spoilers for my future fanfic, A Turn of the Page and the sequel. Please read at your own risk and enjoy.

One of Raina’s best friends back on Earth. A Tomboy with a heart of gold, Jayden is very outgoing, feisty and a loyal friend.

Affectionate Nickname: She is often referred to as “Jay” by her besties.

Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: She is the brawn to Zoe’s brains as Raina is the beauty.

Best Friend: Ever since she defended Raina and Zoe from some bullies in the second grade, she is very close to them.

Beware the Nice Ones:

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: With her auburn hair, she is the redhead while Raina’s the brunette and Zoe is the blonde.

Bully Hunter: This was how Jayden became Raina and Zoe’s friend since second grade.

Childhood Friends:

Dark is Not Evil: She wears some colours in a darker shading and she wears a black varsity jacket in the sequel and she’s a good kid.

Does Not Like Spam: She hates eggplant.

Doting Parent: Okay, so as a kid, she’s not really a parent but she still dotes on her pet tortoise, Sonic.

Everyone Has Standards:

Even though she’s a tomboy, Jayden doesn’t like gross stuff such as some boys burping for the fun of it because she finds it extremely disgusting and very immature.

She’s a Passionate Sports Girl but is also a good sport when it comes to winning or losing. As long as the opposite team are decent people who just like to compete for fun, she’s a Graceful Loser. But if her team wins, she keeps her celebration under low-key and gracefully congrats the other team for giving it all.

Fiery Redhead: She has dark auburn hair and is feisty as they come.

Friendship Trinket: She always wears a similar bracelet that was made by Raina and Zoe to represent their strong bond.

Good is Not Soft:

King Dice yet again learned that the hard way when Jayden gave him a good kick in the knee.

Jayden doesn’t take any prisoners concerning jerks or bullies.

Hidden Depths:

Despite being a tomboy, she’s not above watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. In fact, Rainbow Dash is her favourite character.

Her favourite animal is a hedgehog because she finds them cute and her favourite video game is Sonic the Hedgehog.

Innocently Insensitive:

Kick Chick: Years of playing soccer really pays off given she’s best described having a kick like a wild stallion when she kicked King Dice in the knee in the sequel.

Little Girls Kick Shins: According to King Dice’s perspective, Raina’s kick would seem more like a playful tap in comparison to Jayden’s.

Mirror Character:

Never Bareheaded: She is rarely seen without her denim newsboy hat.

Nice Hat: She practically always wears a navy blue denim newsboy hat with a PokéBall patch sewn onto it.

Nice, Mean and In-Between: Played with. Jayden is purely a Nice Girl and despite some of her flaws, she doesn’t have a malicious bone in her body. The only thing “mean” about is her Bully Hunter instincts and Fiery Red tendencies. But yeah, she still balances out Zoe’s nice and Raina’s in-between.

Not Above It All: She actually enjoys some magical girl shows like Sailor Moon and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. As long as they have plenty of action and have a good storyline where the heroine is hardcore awesome.

Oh, Crud!:

Passionate Sports Girl: She’s the sportiest out of the trio. She especially loves soccer, hockey and basketball.

Signiture Headgear: Her denim newspaper boy hat.

Sitcom Rival: With Odile Tramaine, the snooty rich girl bully.

Sweet Tooth:

Tomboyish Baseball Cap: Technically, it’s actually a newsboy hat but she is a tomboy who wears it proudly.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Since Raina’s the Tomboy with a Girly Girl Streak, Jayden is the main Tomboy to Zoe’s Girly Girl.

Tomboy with a Girly Girl Streak: Played with. She enjoys a few magical shows if they have plenty of action and a good storyline like Sailor Moon or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Trademark Favourite Food:

She really enjoys chill cheese dogs.

She loves Texan BBQ pizza with jalapeños.

More of a favourite drink than food but she enjoys normal and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Undying Loyalty:

Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time

When you think of consistency, loyalty, and a never-say-die spirit in the IPL, one team that instantly comes to mind is the Chennai Super Kings. With their iconic yellow jersey and the legendary MS Dhoni leading the pack, CSK has been one of the most successful and loved franchises in IPL history.

Since their inception in 2008, CSK has built a legacy filled with unforgettable moments, loyal fan support, and a squad that often feels more like a family than just a cricket team. The biggest factor behind this success? The players who’ve given their all for the lion’s badge. So today, we dive deep into the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time — the true legends of Chennai Super Kings.

Why These Players?

When determining the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time, we considered impact, consistency, match-winning performances, and their emotional connection with fans. These players haven’t just played for CSK — they’ve become the face of the franchise.

Let’s explore who they are and what makes them so iconic.

1. MS Dhoni

There’s no surprise that MS Dhoni sits at the top of this list.

Role: Captain, Wicketkeeper, Finisher

IPL Titles as CSK Captain: 5 (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023)

Key Skills: Calm under pressure, strategic captaincy, clutch finishes.

Often referred to as "Thala" by the CSK fans, Dhoni has been the backbone of the franchise. His leadership has transformed CSK into one of the most feared and respected teams in IPL. Whether it's winning games with the bat or making bowling changes at crucial times, Dhoni's cricketing brain is unmatched. There’s no conversation about the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time without MS Dhoni at the top.

2. Suresh Raina

Another name forever etched in CSK history is Suresh Raina — also known as "Mr. IPL."

Role: Middle-order Batsman

CSK Runs Scored: Over 4,500

Key Skills: Aggressive batting, superb fielding, left-handed flair.

Raina has been a run machine for CSK and one of the most consistent performers in IPL history. His ability to control the middle overs, accelerate when needed, and his athleticism in the field made him a complete T20 package. For over a decade, Raina remained CSK’s heartbeat. His loyalty and performances rightfully earn him a spot in the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time.

3. Ravindra Jadeja

The spin wizard and one of the best all-rounders in modern cricket, Ravindra Jadeja has played a crucial role in CSK's dominance.

Role: All-Rounder

Key Contributions: Finishing games, economical spells, sharp fielding.

Jadeja has grown into a match-winner for CSK, especially with his game-changing performances under pressure. Whether it’s a crucial 20-ball 40 or a tight four-over spell, Jadeja delivers with consistency. In 2023, he even hit the winning runs in the final, showcasing once again why he belongs in the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time.

4. Dwayne Bravo

CSK’s go-to man in crunch situations, Dwayne Bravo has been one of the most impactful foreign players in IPL history.

Role: All-Rounder, Death Overs Specialist

Key Skills: Clever bowling, game-finishing abilities, on-field energy.

Bravo was the Purple Cap holder twice and has delivered some of the most memorable spells for CSK. With the ball, his slower deliveries and variations made him a nightmare for batters. His Caribbean flair, dance moves, and wicket celebrations became iconic in CSK folklore. His overall contribution makes him an easy pick for the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time.

5. Faf du Plessis

The South African batting maestro Faf du Plessis has been a key pillar of CSK’s top order, especially in the later seasons.

Role: Top-Order Batsman

Key Skills: Anchoring the innings, aggressive starts, athletic fielding.

Faf’s consistency in providing solid starts and anchoring innings gave stability to CSK’s batting. He was crucial in CSK’s title-winning campaign in 2021, scoring 633 runs and narrowly missing out on the Orange Cap. Faf's elegance, professionalism, and contribution to the team's cause secured him a spot in the Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time.

Honorable Mentions

It’s tough to pick only five when there have been so many legends wearing the yellow jersey. Here are a few who deserve mention:

Murali Vijay – Crucial top-order batsman during early years.

Albie Morkel – Known for his power hitting and crucial wickets.

Michael Hussey – “Mr. Cricket” brought reliability and class to the top order.

Deepak Chahar – CSK’s swing specialist with the new ball.

Shane Watson – Match-winner in CSK's 2018 title run, including a century in the final.

Each of these players has had a strong hand in building CSK’s golden legacy.

What Makes CSK Special?

CSK’s strength lies in its trust in experienced players, its loyalty to the core group, and the strong leadership of MS Dhoni. Unlike many franchises, CSK doesn’t believe in frequent changes — and that’s reflected in the way players have performed with security and confidence.

The Top 5 Best CSK Players of All Time aren’t just excellent cricketers; they are role models who played with passion, loyalty, and heart.

Final Thoughts

Over the years, Chennai Super Kings has become more than just a cricket team — it's a family, a culture, and an emotion for millions of fans. The players listed above have contributed immensely to this journey, turning ordinary matches into legendary memories.

From Dhoni’s calmness to Jadeja’s all-round brilliance, from Raina’s fireworks to Bravo’s cleverness — these are the men who made CSK a dynasty.

Top 5 Best Left-Handed Batsmen in IPL

September 3rd-October 13th, Washington

Mike and Andy and I got out for a rare event, a rock concert with Def Leppard, Journey and Cheap Trick on September 4th.

Gae hates this plant, as it grows like crazy here, but the bees and I love it... Borage!

Raina was intently waiting for me to pick up and throw a ball, pausing under these crazy Dahlias overhanging the main path.

There were various smudges from me hauling a kayak on the Mercedes which drove Gae to power buff the car on the 19th.

These mushrooms popped up in the massive sawdust pile surrounding the Douglas Fir section laying in the yard.

I made a batch of Ratatouille using eggplant, zuchini and tomatoes from the garden on the 23rd. Thankfully my sister Francie likes all those things and joined me for dinner to make a good dent in it.

Gae and I visited the local Alpaca rescue on the 28th, where she got up close and personal with a stylishly coiffed local.

Gae had a couple of Veterans stop by on the 25th with a beautiful Quilt of Valor, awarded to veterans for their service.

The neighbor next door, Tom, bought this nice little Kubota for renovating and building efforts he has in the works, so I volunteered to tear out some asphalt he wanted removed. My kind of adult toy!

I rented a machine to finish scaping the dining room floor to remove the nasty black mastic from (probably) 1935, when it was built. Miserable work, if you can find it;-)

Gae attended a baby shower of a friends daughter on the 25, where she had all kinds of fun.

Gae joined a group of church members to serve the homeless at a local church on the 27th.

Gae scored free tickets to local concerts on 9/28 and 9/29, which were great fun and our first show at the relatively new Field Hall.

My buddy Andy came out for a round of golf on October 1st, followed by the short walk to Madison Falls near the Elwa River on the 2nd.

The tomato plants produced a good amount this year, but even with the bed covers closed at night, they got a little mealy from the cold. Still excellent for making some Spaghetti sauce.

The morning of October 4th was sunny and warming, causing the wet Cedar fence let off vapor around the the fence caps.

Gae and I took the dogs for a walk on the upper Peabody Creek trail on the 6th, which hosted hundreds of (I think) Shaggy Parasol mushrooms.

Raina loves the large section of log that we left lying in the yard. Gae demanded we leave it, and I'm now glad we did... Raina loves the view it affords her over the fence.

We attended a Garden Club member tour at Wallace and Beverly's on the 7th, where I'm sure their resort like landscaping was worth more than our entire house!

An evening dog walk on the 9th had some nice lighting effects.

I joined 2 other volunteers with Streamkeepers to measure the flow and water quality of Ennis and Peabody Creek on the 10th.

Rob and Ben came out for a visit on the 11th, so we walked to the pier and enjoyed the Dungeness Crab Festival.

The day was dry and mild and provide a gorgeous sunset.
