As i scraped off the kahm yeast this morning, i realized the figs are fermenting and i've got something like fig wine going. So yay, this experiment might not be a loss. And i might try again when i get back from Ohio and presumably find more overly ripe figs on the tree.
Found a skink in the bed ... Monday? Sunday? night. I think Christine rescued another, and i rescued a third. At this rate, i wonder if skinks miss the other skinks that have been carried off and are offering themselves up to the great grey fuzzy hunter. I hope the colony in the front yard is thriving and that the anoles aren't too put out.
I was buzzed by bats last night, walking down the hill to the creek to get my steps in. As the bad swoops in the beam of the light in front of my face, it's so brightly illuminated it's a bit blinding. Definitely startling. I yelped. I've seen the glowing eyes in the tree beyond the garden a couple times so some critter is reliably there. And moths - they have red eyes in the glow of the head lamp.
I was a thousand steps short yesterday after walking loops in front of the house to get myself to a round number. I'm not getting in the ten min work break walk. I think it would help my day, but i'm proving resistant. Maybe today.
I did do my balance exercises while Christine watched the end of the Yankees-Red Sox game. That was a pretty spectacular game with some amazing home runs.
