Cooking; 12 pounds of junk and a pair of hedge trimmers

Made squash soup and eggplant parm, and steamed beans and turnips. Was able to fit the cookware, including the coffee carafe, in the dishwasher, which ran twice yesterday.

We did a 1.5 mile walk in the afternoon, after laundry and changing sheets. Ron brought a plastic bag to collect trash.

I wanted to walk the route from John’s Pond Estates to Hoophole Road, but on the way, noticed that the a path adjacent to the Fairgrounds was open now that the summer foliage had died back.

We collected a pile of trash on that path and more on Ashumet Road: over 12 pounds.

Someone had abandoned a pair of hedge trimmers at the edge of the Fairgrounds parking lot. It has beautiful wooden handles and even covered with rust, the blades work very well.
