Cool, Cloudy, Breezy

 Conditions this morning allow me to open windows and get heat out of the house before it gets hot later. Clouds and cool breezes are a treat. Still no need to water. I will do one section of the garden later this week. 

It takes daily effort to stay on top of things. I am very happy to have "travel" off my radar. And even if I didn't have so much to do here, even if I had the time and opportunity, I wouldn't do it. I am where I want to be and as I want to be. I'd be a fool to "travel". Packing? Living out of a suitcase? Being where I do NOT want to be? Returning to a neglected household? UNpacking? Trying to catch up, repair damage? No effing way. Been there, done that, and that part of my life is OVER. And I am so happy to have it over. 

Have To Have DEET

 This botanical stuff is lame. When you consider the relative risks, a repellant with DEET is a no-brainer. I can work outside without being covered by mosquito bites. And I did work outside yesterday morning and yesterday evening. It is starting to get quite hot now. No matter how hot it gets I won't complain, having suffered through miserable winters the past couple of years. Yesterday I improved the paths and cleared areas. 

Keeping busy is good therapy. I can ALWAYS find things to do. 

More Like Summer

 June is starting to feel more normal, but the rain was welcome. The ground is still damp. 

Yesterday I began to remove objectionable weeds. What a job!

Turning Hot And Dry

 But not as hot as it has been some years at this time, and the effects of all the rain will linger. Busy busy. Taking care of this and taking care of that. 

I've got a whole lot of green going on, and that's part of what is keeping me busy. 

More Rain Overnight

 But now it begins to trend hot and dry. Quite warm in a week or so, but lower humidity. Should be a little more "normal" for the time of year.
