Day 307: garden update and out with the physics crew

I took these photos in my garden earlier today. 

I am so amazed at how quickly some plants can grow! 

The peas are taller than I am (not that that's saying much) 

and the squash is noticeably larger every time I see it. 

I've been making salads with my lettuce and it won't be long 

before I have other veggies to harvest. Exciting! 

After a long day of class and some after hours in the library, 

I came home to to do dishes and make dinner. 

Some of the people in my physics class were getting together 

for beers on the Ave, so I decided to join. 

I hesitated because I have so much I should have been doing, 

but I'm so glad I decided to go! It was fun to get to know some of the 

other teachers better over a few pitchers. 

Making new friends is hard - I am so awkward! 

It so happened that I was the only Seattleite in the bunch. 

Pretty fun to sit and chat with people from all over the country. 

I hope we go on other outings in the future.
