We saw Robert today when we went to the shop to chip up a load of brush we generated in preparation for putting down a truckload of leaf mold we loaded from the city pile. Robert saw us at the shop and got $5 off Dennis. It was good to see Robert, he’s been around the neighborhood for years, telling stories, ambling about. After we finished spreading the leaf mold we saw a thrush in the back yard, and what looked to be juncos.
