Well, we voted!  We didn’t see any COVID precaution signs on the door, though they were doing a pretty good job of it inside.  As predicted, it was pretty empty at 8:30AM.  Paper ballots are now being used (to minimize hacking into the system, they say).  Our party ballot was extremely short, as you’d expect around here.  The process was straightforward and orderly, although if this were a large turnout, they’d need to scramble to get more organized.  Anyway, hopefully our votes, such as they are, won’t get “lost” in the shuffle, today or in the November General.

Here are E’s latest best yet challot.  And here is a large pile of tomatoes, including some green ones that fell off the vine.

Flowers are happy (as am I) after another torrential rain last night.

I was especially happy to see this eastern tiger swallowtail on the zinnias yesterday.  One by one (literally), some species are finally showing up down here, abnormally late in the season.  I still haven’t found a monarch, or any caterpillars.
