I went to the Farmers Market on East 3rd Street and 14th Avenue East.

Bought some pasties, Miel Honey, carrots, tomatoes and carrots. 

It was fun to connect with friends!

I attended the Occupation Party at the People's Power Plaza this afternoon. Good people rallying around a good cause. It was inspiring.

Took a hike at Hartley with my husband this morning.  It was a gorgeous day and Hartley was a great place to spend part of it.

By the way, we've lived here for 8 months now and have loved every day.  Some days, like today, are just a little better than others.

Made a run to Goodwill with my daughter this morning with the windows down, then headed to UMD for tailgating fun and a great Homecoming game.  Go 'Dogs!

The only thing greater than this perfect Duluth day was the perfect Duluth evening, when the smell of fall leaves was augmented with the smell of a nearby bonfire.  I've heard you can live other places, but I'm not sure why you would.

Walked from my Central Hillside home up to Skyline, then out to Chester, and eventually popped out by CSS.  In the woods I saw hermit thrushes, a pileated woodpecker, and a brown creeper.  Came home and let my kitties lounge in the enclosed porch for the rest of the afternoon while I cooked down some tomato sauce with tomatoes and garlic from my garden.

Farmers market - kale, wild rice and pasties. Four grandkids to the park for climbing, swinging, sliding and twirling. Movie at Zinema.

Ran a great 20-miles of hilly trails in Chester, Bagley, Hartley, Vermillion Road, onto the Superior Hiking Trail over to Lester Park and back on a perfect cloudless day.

Went to the Bulldog game and then down to the Occupy Duluth thing and heard a few speakers and the opening of the Declaration of Independence read.  SkatRadioh was making very cool tshirts with a logo he came up with.  Watched a City Council member speak and few others.  It is like the early 1960s when people were standing up for Free Speech on the college campuses.

Made a new garden in the backyard and filled it with tulip and daffodil bulbs.  All this with a shared growler of Castle Danger pale ale.

Made some headway in the boy's room ... priming, painting. Next up: rockets!

Spent some time studying at UMD, then checked out the Occupy rally. 
From there, a pint at Carmody, a PBR Mimosa at Luce and then hopped on stage at RT's for a rousing set with Aaron Gall and the Likely Story. 
More focus on the evening.

I had a raging gingivitis gum infection due to years of no dental insurance. I swished a lot of medicinal whiskey and watched TV. I am the 99%.

Note all the posts here where people went to our spacious parks and enjoyed nature.  Duluth is a city within a forest.  That is one of the things that makes it unique and an attractive place to live.  Please, please, please never let that change!

I went to the Occupy Duluth rally and read a portion of the Declaration of Independence.
