0089

Experiencing a lot of itchiness lately. Have I picked up something from working with the earth so much? I've been quite conscientious about bathing every evening, and washing bedsheets and clothes often. Anyway, today is a nice autumn day, so I wash laundry and hang everything to dry.

Spend the bulk of the day digging potatoes, washing them and setting them on a screen to dry before storing them down in the basement. Bring the laundry in when clouds move in, then back to digging. Cut up and cook a bunch of softening apples for sauce.

Wander about in the woods close to the house this evening. The fall colors fill the air with loveliness.
