summer

The avocado pit that I've been trying to sprout has grown a root! And my second pineapple has green shoots in the middle! I love the 24 hour daylight for growing - all my plants go wild. I have been trying to order a small seed starter, like a tiny plastic greenhouse, but the company called today and told Rachel they can't ship it to me. Not sure why. I was looking forward to getting it. Oh well. I guess I'll have to keep using margarine containers and plastic wrap.

We didn't end up going to Starvation Cove. Miguel went fishing from work (they all went on Friday - company fishing day) and caught a 12 pound char, so he didn't really want to head out again on Saturday. So we invited a bunch of people for dinner on Sunday, made caribou stew and char and had a good meal.

Next weekend is the eclipse. I've been told that we're staying up Thursday night to see it, at 3am Friday morning, despite the fact that I have to work on Friday. Miguel doesn't have to, he's off to San Diego...

Chris and Clark are within 100km of their finish point.
