		<description><![CDATA[A breezy sunny Saturday with no plans. In the words of Annie Dillard, I&#8217;ve really &#8220;spent&#8221; the morning, wandering through the woods with the dogs, then touring the yard, picking a nice big basket of strawberries, and taking some photos. The strawberry photo is my flickr photo for today. Other chores are done&#8230;the sheets are [...]]]></description>
