Yum. But my basil plant is pretty much dead. Time to buy a new one. I just used the remaining twenty tiny leaves for the bisque!

birds are loud this afternoon. Lovely! even crows I enjoy. We have not seen a bear or heard of a sighting in about three- four weeks. There was one on the street about a month or two ago. One neighbour chased him with her car, honking at him all the way to the end of our street...I dont mind them.

It smells of basil on my hands...I love that smell! Nothing to report today. Very nice, quiet day. Lots got done. I am so happy with my booklets. First book since 2022 that got printed. The other ones were less than 8 pages long , in between 2022 and now. The other printed materials were 3-8 pages, and there was about 4 booklets or cards in 2023 so about 100$ for 48 booklets or something in total.
