Fly Away

ALL GONE: This weekend we worked the 'to do' list, trying to get the place more orderly. One of the things we needed to do to make that happen was to close down our 'greenhouse' for 2020.

I wanted to move our surplus starts, and I thought a good way to do that would be to put them out on the street with a 'free' sign. But the problem with that for us is that we live on a dead end. However, I struck upon the idea of putting a 'free' box out by our communal mailbox. 

We transplanted all of the starts into decent sized containers, boxed them up and carried them down to the mailbox. 
We checked on them a couple of times.  A good number of them disappeared on Saturday. We checked in with them Sunday morning and more were gone, but there were also some additions! Some neighbor had added some lettuce starts to the mix.

Sunday afternoon we went to check in with them and the whole box was gone! Success!

Hopefully the starts are happy in their new home(s). And this experience makes me want to head up a neighborhood starts exchange for next year. Wouldn't that be cool?!

BRUCE: Last night, we made it a point to watch a documentary about the life of Bruce Lee. Part of the ESPN 30 for 30 series, 'Be Water' intimately chronicles Lee’s life and extraordinary journey toward becoming an international superstar.  Here's a trailer for the show.:

Lee lived in Seattle for most of his adult life. We visited his grave a few years ago.


Bruce is buried alongside his son Brandon, who was killed on a movie set ("The Crow") due to gross negligence. So sad.


ON HIGH: From low Earth orbit, we're one world.

Also, from the International Space Station, you can see the freshly-painted road to the White House.
