Today I learned...

...'tis the season for berries, peaches, plums, pluots, and nectarines. After a delicious mid-morning snack of fruit samples at the Serramonte Farmer's Market, I settled on four white peaches, four yellow nectarines, and three boxes of perky raspberries from three different vendors with winning smiles. That should last us six desserts, or two days. At $2/lb , this "shop for produce at farmer's market" resolution is getting costly, but I'm kept motivated by the undeniable freshness and flavor, and merits of buying local.

...Saturday mornings are prime time for cashing in on recyclables. The two recycling centers on my errand route had long lines of sellers hauling 30-gallon trash bags stretched thin and bursting with empty cans and bottles. Mr. S., a homeowner where I volunteer, built his back deck using several months of redemption funds from recyclables.

...our neighbors down the hill consider stopping at Stop Signs optional. (Visitors, be warned.)

...my mind, body, and soul are still most content at an optimal ambient temperature (according to the bank time & temperature reading) of 73 degrees.
