Day 255 - Friday, September 25

I went to town today to buy a couple potatoe forks (got the wrong kind of fork, though), some shovels, and some plastic crates. On the way to town, I decided to make note of how many of the sloughs of the area are now nothing but dry ground, surrounded by forlorn water plants.

Evidence that we are experiencing a drought.

Daniel's task for today, regarding the root cellar, was to clean out all the dried up vegetables and get the junk out of it. He also leveled the floor and completely cleaned the steps, making the following scene a distant memory.
