More Packing

Got back from the coast this afternoon having delivered another carload of things from my mother’s house to various points. We had a good time: managed to watch some video in the “toss” pile of Northanger Abbey, which was a good silly gothic thing to do among the rubble. I managed not to forget the iPod this time so I sang all the way there and all the way home. I’m tired but singing is good for the soul and it reminds me I should do this more.

In Davis we were able to catch up with Ron of Toad in the Hole and Joe and a friend of theirs who had come up for the UC Davis Arboretum plant sale. Some good Swainson’s hawk sightings with them, including two copulations. Ron is encouraging me to plant in half-barrels… out of the reach of gophers, and easy to tent against spraying.
