Our handyman was here for a few hours yesterday caulking and priming window trim. It’s one of those improvements that has a favorable cost:benefit ratio.
I picked up lunches at the Senior Center and filled out menus for March.
Afterwards, we attended our first Friday LOG lunch, which was great: all-vegetarian buffet menu – salad, roasted veg skewers, barley/veg soup, flatbread, yogurt/dill sauce, trays of baklava passed around for dessert.
An attorney with DOJ gave the presentation on prosecuting environmental crimes.
Did a small shop at Aubuchon. Spread varmint repellent on the tulip bed, which is starting to sprout.
