2/ Faye Mendelsohn died - on her trip to Russia. She left Wed. and on Sat. she suffered a massive heart attack in her hotel room - after returning from the opera. Let's get out and see the world before we get too old. Monhegan isn't the whole world - although when one is there one gets to thinking so. Plants seem okay. The Norfolk Pine is alive - and well!! and pushing the bag. The vegetables all survived, except the basil, which developed dark spots at the juncture of leaves and stem. Did they have the spots before I left? [[image]] 3/ Anyhow. I was able to save about 2/3 of the crop - Put up most of it in oil - (the best leaves) and got 1 and a 1/2 large jars - and blended the worst leaves with oil and salt - and froze them for pesto. I should have brought back parsley - forgot. Are there any rosehips ripening around our area? There sure were lots of roses. School got off with a bang. What a day yesterday - so hot. Bob arrived looking absolutely frazzled. Asked about the excitement on M - the wedding and accident, which he heard about on
