THEY'RE WHACKING TREES AGAIN! How times flies! As I was walking this morning, heard/saw several people whacking olives from the branches already! Prime harvest time isn't for another month, however. But it does remind me that in a few weeks, I will have completed my first entire year as a volunteer here in my little Berber village!

I amended my blog on construction. Added a photo and addressed a question from my hiker friend Tom re: block composition.

A special message to the WOM. Got the Halloween card and all the news! I love getting Marilyn's envelopes! Your thoughts and messages are always welcomed and brighten my day. Thanks so much!
