Finally! After the third time of trying, here's another photo from my boat trip last Saturday. It's a view of Duluth from the Harbor, the DECC is on the right and the Aquarium (blue and green colored squarish building) is on the left.

I'm out of bed early, as early as on a weekday, want to get those peas at the Farmer's Market. I also would like some salad fixings. It's overcast and looks like rain right now, which we could really use. It's been so dry that I've had to water the flowers and the garden every day. Last night I chased a deer away from leaning over my fence and munching on my bean plants. I had THOUGHT that was how the deer were reaching them! Didn't think they'd jump into such a little enclosure. Anyway, it's supposed to be even higher temps today, hope they're wrong.

NOT MUCH LATER:
Went to the Farmer's Market and bought 3 pounds of peas! They were expensive, though, at $2/pound. Also got a bunch of lettuce, some wild blueberry jelly, bread and butter pickles, carrots (with the tops, Ricky the Chinchilla likes carrot tops) and two cucumbers. The sky still appears dark and I'm hoping for rain. However, I may sit outside (and snack on peas) in the lawn chair and read until it does rain. The house is still very warm, especially the bedroom and my son is sleeping in the living room. He has to work later today again. So I need to be very quiet, there's really no place else to go in this house as this computer and the kitchen are in the same room. I have the lights all off, and because it's dark outside, it's not condusive to reading!

I've got lots of things to do today. The garden needs weeding, and grocery shopping and pet food shopping, and then there's the lunch at the Red Mug in Superior and maybe the "Rocky Horror Show" at 11:00 PM. Think I'll need a nap before then!

STILL LATER: I really better quit eating these peas! Have a pile of pods to give to Ricky. Also tried to add a photo to today's posting, with no success. I tried twice, it takes 15-minutes per try. I give up. It was just another picture of last Saturday's boat trip. I have still have most of the photos left to post! At this rate, they'll last for the rest of the year!

OK, I read outside for awhile, weeded the garden in the rain and finally added a photo to this post. Now it's time to go to Superior!
