10:32 – Bonnie couldn’t make it yesterday. The battery in her truck died. So I guess we’ll just have that multi-year accumulation of leaves/compost cluttering up the place until next weekend.
As Barbara and I were dry-packing sugar yesterday, I noticed Colin watching. Later, he asked me how we would store his year’s supply of dog food. I told him we weren’t going to bother storing any extra dog food, and his ears went down flat. They stood right up again when I told him he’d just have to eat human food the whole time, the same as the rest of us. After all, for the first 30,000+ years of their partnership with humans, dogs ate what their people ate. Dog treats were invented around the Civil War, but it’s only since the 1930’s that the familiar dry meat/meal dog food has even existed. Colin is now looking forward to the Zombie Apocalypse.
