Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

adrian_turtle came over this afternoon, for hugs, conversation, and an early dinner -- early so she could walk home before it got dark.

We tried to figure out how long it had been since her previous visit: at least since February. Me going to visit her is a very good thing, but so is her coming over here to spend time with both me and cattitude. (Or the three of us having dinner at her place, or seeing each other elsewhere, but her visiting us in Belmont seems most sensible now, between the pandemic and the hot weather.)

The meal included lots of fresh local strawberries. Cattitude went to the farmers market this afternoon and came home with four pints. Having eaten one and a half pints, and sent one home with Adrian, we still have as many berries as we're likely to be able to eat while they're still good.
