Hanging Out at Wells-Thorne

I'm spending the afternoon today guiding in the Wells-Thorne House here in Deerfield (if you've ever been, it's the shockingly blue one at the south end of the street). It's going well, today especially: there haven't been any visitors! The professional guide and I have just been sitting out here chatting, and I'm also working on some of the different projects that I have for the Fellowship.

Speaking of those, we're all feeling overwhelmed: we have so much to do in our projects and yet so little time to accomplish them. By the end of the day, we're exhausted and hardly want to focus on more mental undertakings. But it's all good -- we're all having a great time and getting along well and all that.

In fact, yesterday we celebrated the Fourth of July together by grilling hamburgers in the driveway of the Allen House. It's paved, and there's a grill here so I scrubbed it off and Ryan grilled some burgers. We had oven fries and cole slaw as well. And for desert we'd made a red, white, and blue cake. We brought out a computer and listened to some music -- we actually ended up line dancing in the driveway. Or trying to, at least. We're not very good, but it was great fun. I think some of the other fellows have pictures so I'll try and grab copies of those.

Can you think of any naturally occurring blue foods? We couldn't: blueberries were rejected as being purple.

Gotta go.
