An afternoon in the garden. Turned, groomed and planted 4 beds -
lettuce - spinach
arugula - brocolli raab

Started clearing bed and paths by sunroom and pruning overgrown grapes back to the main vine. Started pruning willow by fence. Weeded paths. Picked up the barn patio area. Watered.

Finished The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. as the sun was setting and the full moon starting to rise. This was my second full reading. Took 16 days. Now going reread it in parallel with Parting the Waters.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

Image ... Buddha of the City. Fortune teller's shop, the South End.

This image was made yesterday on a walk back home through the South End. It's a view into a fortune teller's storefront, melding the items in the display window with reflections from the sky and street.

There are three fortune teller shops in the South End. How this is possible and who frequents them I can't imagine. And they seldom seem to be open. This one I've never seen any signs of life in. Maybe they can just predict that you're coming and somehow be there. Maybe there's an article in this. Or maybe it's unlucky to repeat what a soothsayer says. So to speak. Very mysterious.

Visited clients in Bay Village and Beacon Hill. Hung out in the garden soaking up the sun.

Emails from Richard Vacca and the South End Historical Society this morning regarding the King project.
