The end of the holidays

Today is the last day of the annual round of Jewish holidays. From Rosh Hashanah (two days) through Yom Kippur (one really long day) to Sukkot (two days at the beginning and two days at the end of the week), it's a lot of praying, singing, and eating.

I'm glad I've had the energy to cook, pray, eat and socialize for these few weeks. Our annual sukkah party was a lot of fun. More than 40 people showed up and we got a couple of photos with just about everyone. The Seattle weather has cooperated and it's been unfailingly sunny for weeks on end.

Now i'm ready to take down the sukkah, clean up the yard and start a cover crop in my raised garden beds. On to the rains!
