Looking back on the year, there are a number of things I really liked about it:
- getting my first harvest of red potatoes planted under hay
- getting a few melons, though they didn't really ripen as they should because the weather so unfriendly to melons this year
- getting a great harvest of black raspberries (and turfing out some weed red raspberries with great satisfaction!)
- exchanging my long, heavy kayak for a much lighter, more nimble one that it is also much easier to travel with
- going to the first Canadian Yearly Meeting since I last attended 15 years ago and reconnecting with people from Atlantic Canada
- getting a free GIS up and running for the Urban Forest program at Peterborough GreenUp
- exploring the Celebration of the Arts in Scottsdale
- finding lots of great organic produce at the Scottsdale Farmers Market when we visited there
- hiking in Sedona
- kayaking on Cape Cod
- hiking in New Hampshire
- spending an afternoon at the nudist swimming hole on the Mad River in Vermont
- getting into doing no-knead artisan bread when we travel as well as at home
- making dandelion wine for the first time in nearly 30 years
- finding more and more great local stuff in Peterborough and at its farmers' market
- using my solar dehydrator a lot (when the sun shone!)
