The critters munched two more of our tomato plants overnight, though they left a few leaves this time. I sprayed Repels-All around all of the plants in the beds and on the wood, and I hope it works.

We got our first real dose of summer weather today; we stayed inside most of the day and worked. We’d put aside a lot of newspapers, magazines, and other papers for “later” and Diane dealt with many of them. I got most of my 2021 photos into Lightroom and pruned, geotagged, and labeled them up through April 22. Which means that the next time I attack the photos, I’ll have to make decisions about the many pictures I took in Joshua Tree National Park on April 23.

We picked up two more tomato seedlings at the Farmers’ Market this morning: Early Girl Hybrid and Juliet Hybrid; they’re in the ground already. It looks like the Sweet 100 we planted last week may have attracted the attention of critters, but it’s not completely dead yet.

Most of our trivia team got together for a Memorial Day gathering – in person, not on Zoom! There was food. There were beverages. There was chocolate. There was hugging!

Today was also the last edition of the New York Times’s “At Home” section. It’s been very helpful in suggesting recipes over the past 430-plus days, but I can’t say that I’m sorry to see the end of its run. I wonder – will the Travel section return next week?
