I gave two sons a haircut. I buried kitchen scraps in the garden: banana peels (and cut off bruised spots), ends of romaine lettuce, watermelon rinds from our homegrown watermelons, the skins from my homegrown butternut squash, eggshells, and apple cores.

I spent Friday and Saturday having a garage sale. It was the second-largest sale I’ve ever had in terms of items for sale. We set up seven tables and also hung clothes between three ladders on metal conduit. I am thankful that my parents gave us items to sell; they were larger items and the…
