NEWS FROM DIONE
Sunday, July 26, 2009
We are headed to North Carolina next week for about a week. We'll see our spiritual teacher in Fayetteville and then go on to Wilmington for a short vacation.
Mollie went to her first rock concert last night with a friend - it was in Cincinnati. It was really cute and she had a great time. She is going to a dance/birthday party next week at the Oakwood Country Club. Two of the girls from her school are having the party and those are formal affairs w/ most classmates attending. It's very nice that she can attend these kinds of things.
Cora returns from Austria on Aug. 1, and her other good friend Claire just returned from a ballet intensive in Chicago, so she will be with her best friends again. She has also spent some time with her closest friends in Yellow Springs this summer as well as practicing piano and saxophone, and working on her novel. She has about 65 pages finished at this point - and the goal is to reach 100 before school starts. It's slow going, but she works on it almost every day.
Mollie starts school on Aug. 19 and I start on the 24th, so the summer is winding down, but we are going to keep enjoying it!
We are starting to harvest tomatoes, summer squash, basil, oregano, cilantro, parsely, beets, carrots, kale, fennel, and potatoes from our garden. We'll also have corn, zucchini, parsnips, cantelope, french melon, beans, butternut and acorn squash, lima beans, brussel sprouts, onions, leeks and cucumber if all goes well. The berries, asparagus, and apples will take a year or two before we reap some harvest. Oh, also, we are harvesting garlic now and it's so yummy!
I hope you are doing well and look forward to your summer summary - hope I can get it downloaded...Take care
Love,
Dione
