§ Although it looks like the fennel variety we planted earlier this year won’t produce an edible bulb for us, it is starting to produce clusters of dried fennel seeds. We’ve been picking them every few days to store in our spice cabinet.
§ Over the weekend I found my old acoustic guitar and I started trying to play it again for the first time in what must be at least fifteen years.
I would have expected more to be retained by muscle memory but unfortunately I seem to have remembered zero chords. Re-learning a handful of the basic chord fingerings went quickly enough but the bigger challenge now is halfway-competent transitions from chord to chord. I don’t remember this being a challenge when I first learned to play but maybe it was and I’ve just forgotten?
§ Now that the temperature is dropping and the leaves are beginning to change colors it finally occurred to me that I need to try to track down my new favorite apple variety—“zestar”—that I discovered last year. Hopefully it’s not already to late in the season for them.
