Amazing weather, lovely scenery.
Part of me wanted to drive out into the sticks and stargaze last night. The sky was clear and there was a new moon, but alas the comfortable bed refused to let me go. Maybe tonight. I did get up at the crack this morning and take some pictures. I went to the development across the street. It has a lovely lake that was all misty. After driving around a little and checking out the goats I napped for the rest of the morning. That was refreshing but I felt bad because the day was so pretty. I went back to the campus farm and visited several other spots as well, including the Templeton Library at sunset. I will stay at the cottage again tonight and then head for the farm first thing in the morning.
Breaking stuff.
I tore off the cedar that I had previously installed on about half the porch ceiling because I wasn’t happy with how it looked. I had started putting it back when my nail gun broke. I went and bought a new one but didn’t get the chance to use it before dark.
Nine months!
It’s hard to believe that Little Man has now been outside of the belly for as long as he was in it. Below are a couple of pictures that Liz sent. She says he continues to eat and sleep well.
Epic rains washing away 2018.
The rain today has been nothing short of Biblical, definitely the most intense I’ve seen since we bought the property, and that is really saying something. I spent most of the day continuing to organize things in the house and preparing to haul a lot to the dump. I bought some more plastic storage boxes at Home Depot to help stay tidy. I went by Big Box but they were closed. Probably will be asleep long before midnight.
Trying to transition from lazy to productive.
I kind of slept through most of the morning. Or at least stayed in bed. I had a leisurely lunch with my parents and sister, then headed down to the farm. The plumber/electrician had thankfully done some work in my absence. I worked around the house until dark, trying to organize things both inside and out. It’s fairly tough to get motivated. Now I’m about to watch the latest Mission Impossible movie.
Another moving day.
I helped my parents move again today. We rented a van and moved most of the big stuff and a lot of smaller things. Still a lot to go, but I’ll head back to Columbia tomorrow morning. I need to get our house finished. Below are a couple of pictures of Luke that Liz sent.
