Though I missed Toledo’s Billie Washington of Native Soil Farm at Winlock Saturday Market, I did get some (hopelessly inadequate) pics of Mr Bubble’s creative work in action…

You can tell it’s August when you see notices like these:

In the spirit of Toms “one for one,” pick up an extra notebook or pack back and lend a hand to your neighbors. And don’t forget to drop off teachers supplies at Farmers Insurance downtown. Plus: help them win grant money to fund neat projects for kids with a quick Thank You note at this website link, ThankAmericasTeachers.com.

A shout out to Marcelo’s Auto Tech: I no longer have jagged broken teeth...in the F-150 rear axle. Apparently some small bolt backed out and wreaked havoc (I’ll spare you the picture, of interest only to motorheads). Anyway, it’s good to have wheels again, and The Girls agree the hacked John Deere mower/dog walker conversion doesn’t have the pep to keep up with them.
