Here’s the scene that met me when I got to Avdi’s yesterday.  The sukkah is down, but not wasted.  It will be reincarnated as winter wildlife cover, and then the beginnings of a raised garden bed in spring.

Happily, it’s been lightly raining on and off for a couple of days, and looks to continue that way this week, as if to make up for some of the drought.  I love the refreshed misty air.

Things are quiet at the Avdi’s, though that can be deceptive.  The mood is mercurial and unsettled, just under the surface.  Lots to deal with for Avdi.  I just try to stay out from underfoot, but it’s hard to find a place to land or a way to help.  I spent the night, but then walked home early and went back to bed.
