i name you "viviane"

productive errands today -- recycling (for refund) to ladysmith, bought new toothpaste at the health food store there (green apple flavour -- i HATE most regular toothpaste in north america; it is too ... sharp), then onto harewood to drop off the bag of clothes i had sorted for the diabetes foundation (who didn't pick them up).

there is now room in the truck for buying straw and topsoil.

rain! heat all gone. finally this feels like home again.
