We took some of the beans from Ada’s garden and gave them to the elf that lives in the tree on the bank of Lake Harriet. The kids enjoyed the new playground there and throwing rocks in the lake (trying to skip them, but it was windy), but they especially liked a dog that was in the water chasing ducks. He never did get one, but the ducks still weren’t very happy about it.

Oh, and good news. Calhoun Cycle found where the leak was occurring in Helena’s bike tire. There was a piece of glass embedded in the tire itself that nobody could find (until now). I think I have replaced the tube five times.
