That&#8217;s what they said for yesterday too, and we got only a few little sprinkles.   The garden could use some rain, but I&#8217;ve got stuff to do outside.  Hope it doesn&#8217;t pour down.<\/p>\n<p>But if it does, I&#8217;ve still got stuff to do.<\/p>\n<p>Spent yesterday piddling around.  Back flared up a bit, so I didn&#8217;t want to aggravate that and lose any more time.  Cleaned and organized while looking for stuff I needed.   Put stuff away on shelves, cleared up some boxes of random stuff.  Did do a little on the sprinklers, but didn&#8217;t get anything finished.<\/p>\n<p>Got my little fire and radio time last night.  It&#8217;s the part of being up here I love the most.  Quiet.  Fish splashing.  Hard to reconcile having the radio on with the idea of quiet, but maybe &#8220;stillness&#8221; is a better word.  I think we all need a bit of quiet in our lives right now.  We need time with ourselves, still, quiet, contemplative time.  I&#8217;ve seen the idea in several other places recently so the zeitgeist is saying the same thing.   Stack up a little quiet and space for yourself in your day or your week.<\/p>\n<p>Today, if it&#8217;s not raining, I&#8217;ll do more work on the sprinklers, something with the trees, and maybe something with the dock.  Depends on how I feel, how hot it is, and how things go.   If it&#8217;s raining, I&#8217;ll probably sleep in, and do some indoor stuff.   Maybe play pool with my fisherman buddy.  He grew up with a pool table in his bedroom, but hasn&#8217;t played in a long time, so I might have a chance&#8230; or I&#8217;ll get my butt kicked.  Should still be fun.<\/p>\n<p>Time feels short, but it&#8217;s hard to keep up the pace all the time.  Stack while you can, but live too.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warm and moist.  Overcast with a chance of thunderstorms.
