I got 1/2 of the berm mowed and part of the hand-trimming done. I wanted to have it finished because Linda, Cashmere, Cashlyn and I have started meeting on the NW berm during the cool part of the evening. Cashmere brings a blanket for the baby and we just sit and talk and enjoy the herb garden (I always mow a part of it, for one thing, to keep it at bay, and also to release the smells), and the sounds of the birds. The algae seems to have started blooming but there aren't any fish in crisis. We may have taken enough of the large ones out to keep a crisis from occurring.
