I was thrilled to see one last Sunday. They have been rare because rain has been so scarce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got my six baby plants planted. Two look rather shriveled, not sure if they are viable. Maybe their roots are still healthy. I also transplanted some plants thtat were outgrowing their spot, or were in the way. I have a little more transplanting to do, but that can wait awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m reviewing a manuscript written by my friend. It has me in a more-than-usually heady space. There is a lot of philosophical content, and I have to use brain power. I used to do a lot more copy editing, both in my job and as favors for friends, although I don&#8217;t have any formal training in it. The most interesting part of the process is noticing when I feel confused and then asking why? and coming up with suggestions to clarify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The growing season is winding down. I bought a huge cabbage at the farmer&#8217;s market last weekend and made sauerkraut with it today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took some items to the Free Market, a new mutual aid event locally. A large framed print which I&#8217;d grown tired of. A bird feeder we don&#8217;t use. A weedwhacker we don&#8217;t use. Miscellaneous kitchen tools we either don&#8217;t use or have duplicates of. A set of those little cob-shaped corn holders that you stick into the ends of corn on the cob &#8211; we never use them, just grab the cob with our hands. It feels really really good to declutter, even though the process is extremely gradual. We only brought home one item, a nice large saucepan, so that&#8217;s a real win. They stopped taking books, so the books we were donating went into a Little Free Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Common Ground Fair is this weekend. We are looking forward to it, of course. Sam has a commissioner&#8217;s conference Thursday, Friday and Saturday so he&#8217;ll miss most of it. I&#8217;ll spend some time at the fair on Friday and Saturday and we&#8217;ll both visit on Sunday. I&#8217;m really looking forward to it. I need some time away to regroup and reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0179.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0179.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0179.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0179-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_0179-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Almost all visible! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rainbows are so beautiful.
