“Beauty will save the world” – Dostoevosky

I did it!! I took the dryer apart and put it back together and it”s working!!

Making my first batch of kale chips in my new to me food dryer.

Yoga midst the sweet smell of falling apples, knees on the earth in the warm morning sun.

Deep in the blackberry thicket, the first moist hints of decay…

I’ve just determined its the idler pulley but I still think I’m over my head….

I’ve got the dryer apart but now I have no idea how the new belt fits into the pulleys. And what is this odd little wheel lying randomly on the dryer floor? I loathe to pay Sears $65 an hour to install a $30 part on a $25 dryer but what’s a girl to do?

Hands tingling from blackberry picking before the rain. To light a fire in the wood stove or curl up under the blankets?

Near full moon rising in a warm night sky – back on Salt Spring, resurfacing from a month of being submerged in the deep and soothing waters of Hawaii.
