How did it get to be mid-August? My head is spinning.
Is there an end to the madness somewhere down the road? Is there a quiet, stable, relaxing space somewhere where everything is in the house and unpacked and put away, where I’m not “behind the airplane” at work and watching deadlines whiz toward me like freight trains, where I have time to kick back and chill in this nice yard and maybe read a book or have a BBQ without feeling like I really, REALLY should be doing something critical?
There must be. I have faith, or hope. Why keep moving in the marathon if I didn’t think there was a finish line?
But, damn! There are days…
Good and bad. For example, I know that there’s a drip irrigation system for all of the nice plants and fruit trees and flowers, but I have yet to see it on or any signs that it’s working. So I did some poking around, found a control panel of some sort, played around with the controls, and viola!
The good news is that it turned on! This is in the interior courtyard.
The bad news, obviously, is that I found the first drip irrigation stub that needs its nozzle replaced.
I have no idea how to do that, but I’m sure that someone at Lowe’s will be glad to explain it to me – and sell me a bunch of replacement parts.
PROGRESS! Onward, to the quiet, stable, relaxing space somewhere! RAMMING SPEED!!
