§ Caroline and I went to the local nature reserve for the first time in a few weeks—it is suddenly all so green! We placed a few wild grape vine branches in the creek to soften. The hope is that they will still be there next time we visit and they will be flexible enough to use for basket weaving.
§ We spent Saturday at the Geauga County Maple Festival. On the way home, we got some milk from a small dairy farm and eggs from a farmer down the street who has found himself in Ohio by way of San Francisco.
§ I saw a wild turkey in a neighbor’s front yard. I didn’t know we had those here.
§ Barbarian is one of the most creative horror movies I have seen recently. Sure, the villain is a bit hokey but the filmmaking, storytelling, and atmosphere more than makes up for it.
I would love to see a House of Leaves movie by the same director.
§ Caroline made a giant, 36x12 inch, stained glass window for the greenhouse. I finished the last big wall and made a door.
The whole thing is nearly complete. The last big task is to finish filling in the wall surrounding the new window. Other than that, I would like to replace the roof with a better sheet of polycarbonate and add more gravel to the floor.

§ Recipes
- Al pastor tacos using pork from the local group share. I used Kenji’s marinade and Mike’s cooking technique. I couldn’t find achiote, despite checking three different grocery stores. It was still good without it!
