I’m tired in a good way.  Friday I made challah, baked a lemon poppy seed cake with raspberry filling and icing, topped with raspberries, for E’s birthday, and made a great chicken vegetable stir-fry, including the first greens from the garden, with rice.  Stacey joined us.  Everyone seemed happy.

Saturday we all spent the day preparing for E’s big party.  I did the initial mowing around the edges of the yard and saplings.  Then of course it poured and flooded the yard.  E’s party of peers only was quite a bash.  Stacey and I hung out in the basement, where K’s friend C , and briefly Y, joined us (the introverts’ party).  Stacey and I did some edibles and got really euphoric.  We all talked all evening, until she had to go to sleep; then C and I adjourned to the office and continued talking.  I got quite high.

Today, I walked over earlier than usual and helped clean up.  Then we all said goodbye to Stacey.  The yard was still a swamp, but I was able to go ahead and mow the whole front and most of the back (K was out with A).  It was turning into a hay field.  Then I got a lot done in the garden.  I weeded, hoed, and I planted a lot of tomato seedlings.  Then I stayed for the charcuterie meeting.
