                    A church member loves growing things (although he didn’t grow the bananas). He was surprised the egg plants came out small this year. But what he was really excited about was the “jelly melon” (kiwano horned melon) he grew. We’ve never had one before, so […]

It’s been very smokey lately. We are in a drought. For the Pacific Northwest of Washington (the state, not the city) we haven’t had rain in 4 months and have some wildfires that are likely to continue burning until the rains/snows come. The weather has the feel of late August, very unusual for late October. […]

Even though I didn’t need to serve jury duty (see previous post), this has been a busy week. I think my sketch book probably shows how busy I am by what doesn’t get finished and the dates between sketches. Will my future self remember what was going on this week? I guess it will be […]

And yes, I did catch the irony of yesterday’s Lectionary Readings (Psalm 82 is about a courtroom) and that we had chosen The Summons as an opening hymn (about a month ago).
