It’s a spectacular fall day.
UD has been out enjoying it.
She began with brunch at Garrett Park’s
Black Market Bistro, with Rosemary, who
just got back from Thailand and has
many stories.
(Train carrying lumber in background.)
Then she and Rosemary went to
Johnson’s Gardens, where UD bought
mums like these.
Then UD worked in her garden,
stopping occasionally to stare
at her giant puffball mushrooms.
They look like this, only they’re
in the woods, not in a cow pasture.
UD paused in her gardening to
talk to her across the street
neighbor Martin, who with his
wife Tammy (Tammy took the photo
of UD that ran in the Chronicle
of Higher Ed article about UD)
is about to go to Israel, and
who wanted UD to know that they
gave UD’s phone number to their
cat sitters.
