Hum, rather an enigmatic Chinese quote.
This time of year, in the evening, I like the way my shadow stretches half block ahead as I walk down the hill to our house from Amanda and Tom's place. It is so peaceful and I rarely meet another person.
It was a busy day yesterday, cleaning up after the dinner party and getting caught up on laundry. Sometimes there isn't much vacation in this vacation house, so good thing I like puttering around.
A irrigation contractor came by to have a look at our system and declared it in pretty decent shape, but he's going to replace the old sprinkler heads and adjust all the water flows. This is small stuff that local homeowners take care of themselves, but we don't have the time or inclination to run down all the parts, much less learn how to install everything correctly.
He talked like an expert, certainly very personable, and he's coming on Thursday. We shall see, all you can do is trust your hunches and hope he does a good job.
Yes, poor me. Stuck in Twisp an extra two days. Just kidding! Such a perfect time of year, the sweet spot when both the furnace and air conditioner are switched off.
