Made and moved Roofscape #1 to-do list to Google Calendar's Tasks. Edited and reorganized the other two task lists.
Stopped by the garden to drop off clothes from PSI locker re-org. Sat in sometimes sun, in the sunroom, over several inches of snow, and finished Julie and Julia. It cooked all the way through. The haters are idiots. So glad I didn't have to suffer Meryl Streep, however. Talk about insufferable. Some day a movie will be made without her. Until then no one is completely safe.
Lunch at Haley House. Sunday afternoon meals are always special. Menu: sliced baked ham, garden salad with a light Italian dressing, rice pilaf, rolls, apple juice, brownies and cookies. A group of very polite and fresh-faced boys from Boston Latin did the serving, dish washing, sweeping, swabbing, and I assume (arriving late), helped with the prep.
Sad to say, the diners were the usual collection of lily-white, no-nothing, bigoted idiot, Obama, King and Patrick - hating, loud-mouthed, rabid Republican losers, inveighing against the welfare state while sucking down their free food. As is always their wont. I keep myself to myself and say nothing. What can you say to total self-absorbed assholes?

Added and formatted first installment of Olmsted article.
Trimmed a bucket full of zebra grass from small garden and turned it into bed A3 (last year's carrots, just in front of the ferns). Really lofted the soil. Also added last of compost from rear composter. Mined a wheelbarrow full of compost from community pile and added to A1. 40's, quite pleasant, sun and clouds.
Swore it would be a day off, and it sort of was. Lounged in the sunroom soaking up rays, meditating, ie. spacing out, thinking no particular thoughts.
Lunch at Haley House: brisket of beef, roasted potatoes, salad, rolls, gingerbread (didn't have). Everything perfectly done. Cooked by Kathleen O'Connor (who's also the H.H. Board Treasurer), her husband and their volunteer group. A great meal. Offered to work with her group.
