Yesterday i was feeling far less motivated than i have been and then realized, while we have been in ughy-muggy weather, it's been mostly overcast and during the weekend i do not sit next to the window. I propose i'm in sun deficit and need my bright light today.
I was also a little glum over what might be achilles tendonitis. It's not like i am doing crazy athletics, and i don't feel there's much room to have "relative rest."

I'm a little sad about the summer squash plants in the garden: looks like maybe there's a mosaic virus affecting them. I've learned i am not imagining that the plants have many more male flowers than female -- even when healthy, and i find that the plants need TWO inches of rain a week. I should have been irrigating even more than i did.
The Tahitian butternut has set one very butternut looking fruit that is gratifyingly large; the other fruits look more like the Tromboncino than i remembered they would. They do look like these long neck squash: https://www.southernexposure.com/products/tahitian-melon-winter-squash/ Last year's Tromboncino were such a pleasure to both grow and eat. I realize now i should have watered more, and i might have had more fruit, but the lovely long necks were so fun to serve as a holiday dish and they kept so well. In trying to decide what seeds for this year, i thought maybe something a little less likely to climb trees would be nice. But no, the Tahitian squash climbs the trees as well. I will be delighted to have the lovely butternut shaped fruit though as a feast centerpiece. It looks like it will be lovely to stuff.
