Cloudy And Cool AGAIN This Morning!

 The forecast is for heat and high winds. They missed that boat yesterday. I finished everything outside I had pending. Now it will be a matter of routine. If it does get as hot as forecast, I will be happy for wind. The ground here is still quite wet. Some strange changes in the neighborhood, and strange events. Nothing at all threatening, but just odd. We seem to have a north breeze this morning. Last evening it was from the northeast. This time of year southwesterly winds would be more seasonal. We actually had a light misty rain yesterday morning, and it was cool. It is still only 66 F, as I write this. The clouds do seem to be thinning. I find it amusing to follow the UAP/UFO stuff. Seems like the aliens, if they really are out there, are complete idiots. Since most humans are idiots, we certainly don't need an influx of idiots from outer space. 

It would be very disappointing to encounter ET at last, only to discover that ET has shit for brains. 

Typical June?

 Normal June weather has been postponed another day. It stayed on the cool and cloudy and breezy side yesterday but that permitted me to do much more work outside. It rained overnight and today begins-- cool, cloudy, breezy, damp, and foggy. Hmm. 

I'd rather have this than a heat wave.

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!
