And it wasn't hot or rainy -- it was a beautiful day, almost to the very end.
First Outfit: Jeans and T-shirt for picking radishes and arugula and chard. Soaking wet and very muddy by 9:00 AM.
Second Outfit: waiting for me in the kitchen because I knew I would be in a rush, a clean T-shirt and my baggy Hawaiian pants for going to the hospital to sit with Anna while Gordon had his exploratory cardiac catheter procedure. Rushed from the parking lot, got there in time to see Gordon coming back to the recovery room in fine spirits (drugs are good). They found no blockage at all, despite his alarming stress test yesterday, and next they will do a CT scan to see what else they might learn. The three of us chatted while we waited the two hours before Gordon was allowed to get up.
Raced home to make fried rice for lunch, and attended the farm potluck in my unusually clean clothes.
Third Outfit: a third T-shirt and a lightweight pair of long pants for bean picking, not clean. Right after lunch, went out to Loudoun to join the crew in the bean patch for a bit.
Fourth Outfit: yoga clothes that were out in the barn from the last yoga class two weeks ago. Joined the crew for a 4:30 farm yoga class. By the end it was raining hard and we couldn't even hear Kate giving instructions, as the water pounding on the metal roof drowned her out.
Came home and unloaded my vehicle, sloshing through the water that filled the flooding cooler, still wearing my yoga clothes but no shoes. Stephen came to help me and did the heavy lifting. I mostly tried to figure out where things were supposed to go.
And now I have actually returned to Outfit #2 because I thought I was going to the airport to pick up Jon, but his flight which was diverted to Richmond because of the storms is now cancelled and it is not clear when or how he is getting home. Maybe it is time to get into my nightgown.
