Days sans Petanque: Victory Garden

Did anyone else get a Victory Garden package from the Ecology Center that were handed out at City Hall? Sheila wanted one so she sent me. I arrived a full 40 minutes before the scheduled 10 a.m. start time and there were about 100 cars ahead of me. I ended up in the line near The General across from Mary's Pizza. The cars were lining up behind me fast. They started handing the garden starts out about 9:40, probably because all the cars were beginning to be a traffic problem. Once things got going it moved pretty fast with the the Center's Director and Biologist directing traffic onto Broadway 6 cars at a time.

Not sure what the packets are supposed to be Victory over. I assume later in the year as the beans, tomatoes, lettuce etc start ripening we will buy less at the grocery store. For us it's just fun to go out in the garden (some things planted in plastic buckets) and watch things grow and eventually bring things in for salad fixings. Anyway, I'm glad the Ecology Center came up with a community spirit idea and made it happen.

I stopped by Peet's on the way home for coffee and a snack. It's like all the businesses are making street food. How third world of us (in a first world sort of way). I saw a message that they may start reopening parks soon. Thank you Dave for the letter in the paper supporting our cause. Yea! Dave.

So be good, and if you can't be good, at least be real.

Unsubscribe and I will promise not too cry too much when next we meet at the park. May it be sooner than later.
