some friday links

Hi friends,

Thought you might appreciate some interesting alternatives to the daily news, which these days is unbearable. 

• Living Tree Bridges in a Land of Clouds.
• California Teaming Up With Native Americans to Prevent Wildfires.
• Cat Named Dennis Quaid Gets Famous New Adoptive Dad.

Black Krim tomatoes, sun gold cherry tomatoes and zebra tomatoes are piling up on the kitchen counter. We are tucking a bumper crop of green bell peppers into the freezer...sliced, chopped...ready for winter soups and stews and chilis and stir fries. The onions are beginning to flop over, the carrots are ready to pull and it's time to tidy up the root cellar. The days are still steamy, but the evenings are cooling down nicely.

Yesterday Maggie and I had a zoom call. We each played with a pile of Duplo blocks, even though we are about 300 miles apart. I read her a story, too, and we chatted about an adventure she took to the shore one morning. We have not yet met Flora in Detroit, but we see lots of photos nearly every day. Weird times.
