I am one tired Nana, probably because of all the digging Jack and I did below the dining room. Jack is not tired, but even more reved up than last night. Here's what we did today:
- Dug, dug, dug. Jack loves the plastic piping that Papa left down in that area. The smaller piece is a leaf blower or maybe a power roller. The big piece is definitely a power roller that can pack down the dirt. We had to dig down there three times today.
- Went to the nursery to look for Salal (they don't have it) and bought some compost. I will transplant some from other areas and look for a flat at Roger Reynolds.
- Went to the Association office for a brief meeting with John Fox and Haidi. I asked Jack if he could be silent as a deer during the meeting and we took the excavator and bulldozer. Jack felt shy and sat in my lap. Pretty soon he was asleep, silent as a deer. He continued to sleep thru the transition to the car and into the house.
- Visited both fire stations and got complete tours of all seven or so trucks. Jack started off a little shy but soon was asking "where is your chain saw," "what goes into the engine," and "how do you climb up there"? He could not get enough explanation. The firemen were just great with him. One showed him their mask for smoke. They turned on the lights, sounded the siren, and showed Jack the inside of the engine on three trucks. At home, Jack played fire-related scenarios. The frog puppet from Four-Eyed is now a fire mask.
- Visited the bluff above the seal pupping beach. We saw mothers and babies and maybe the birds eating an afterbirth.
- Had pizza at the Gualala Pizzeria. Jack ate a pretty good dinner.
