Slept til 11:45 again, finally got up and had breakfast and coffee. Was just finishing up when Linda came by and said she was going to Tops and did I want to come. I said yes, but needed to put on clothes cause I was still in my nightgown. She said OK, and I went and got dressed.

She met me at her cottage and we went in, I needed something to drink for the next two days as I finished my Vernor's yesterday. I got a bottle of Brisk iced tea, which I figure should be just about the the right amount. I also got some thing for mashfanficchick, because it was there and I like to get zer something when I come up here, and I'm not saying what it is because ze reads this.

Anyway, we came back and I went back to the cottage and I forget what I did until I thought that I really should transplant those ferns if I was going to.

So I went back to Linda's and borrowed a trowel and dug up the little ferns that Betsy said I could have. I put them by the trillium where hopefully they'll root and be happy.

Then I sat on the porch and was reading. I finished Into the Water, which is a satisfying read, and I started something totally different, The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by Charles de Lint.

I was just starting it when who should appear but my cousin Janet. We sat on the porch and had a very nice visit. When she had to leave, it was just about 6:00ish.

I got a phone call from Duane Reade which as usual I didn't answer but now I wish I had. It was a real person, not an automated message saying it was about my prescriptions and I should call them back.

So I tried. But I was on hold for half an hour, and then I gave up. If they call back I'll answer, and I'll try again tomorrow.

Anyway, by then it was time to Team the FWiB, so I did. We had a nice talk. At 8:30 as usual I called Middle Brother. Nothing much to report on his end, all is well.

After that I decided to check out if there was any sort of sunset, and if anyone was watching it, but there wasn't, and no one was. So I decided to return Linda's trowel.

I went down, and they were just watching the end of something. Sue was there so I asked if I could join them and I did. We sat and talked for awhile, then Sue decided to go home to bed, and Linda said she'd walk the dog with her so I went too, and we walked Sue back to her cottage.

Then Linda and I walked back and I said good night, and had dinner. Then I made popcorn and had that, and then I read for awhile.

And now I'm starting here.
