Nocturne

It has been a full week so far and we’re only to Thursday. The front porch looks so good, painted and new cedar flooring, steps. New windows on the shed and it gets painted, too, probably tomorrow. (note. these were done by our handyman, Dave Scott.) The firepit’s repaired. The bookshelves are empty. The Rav4 had it’s oil changed and tires rotated. Learned that it will not tow much at all, 1,500 pounds, so that’s not gonna work for the live stock trailer. Picked raspberries and tomatoes. Made chicken noodle soup. Worked out a couple of times. Translated several lines of De Bello Gallico. And all this while retaining my status as a retired person.

Glad it’s quiet. Silent night. Silence is holy in my world, so holy night, too.
