Tetons at Jackson LakeBright sunny morning, promises to be a lovely day again. I'm sure lazy and drowsy feeling. Guess I need to get moving and do something. Caught up on some of the emails. Played a little Spider. - Yep I'm Good! - checked every one's blog.
Yesterday I spent quite some time filling up a couple of Raven Nests in the yard. What a mess. I've been gradually putting flat rock paving each side of the back porch for a long time just to keep her from excavating, and keep enlarging the rock area, but she just moves further out from the edge so that plan isn't working so well. Whenever I go out around the country I'm always bringing flat rocks back home for it. She knows I don't want her digging holes, but she does it anyway, and she understands it perfectly.
The nests used to be quite small and compact, randomly here and there - an ankle turner right where you step out of the car, one that always caught me on the way to the gate. But NOW she's digging to China, and won't quit. She has a hole by each porch and the one by the front door is right in front of the steps. UGG..LEEE. A visitor could fall in and never be found again. That's one reason why she's always so dirty and brings dirt into the house. We can't keep the house clean even an hour. Wish I'd taken a before and after photo of the one I filled. I'll get one today of the hole at the front porch and show you.
Boy I'm so tired of hearing nothing but politics, and we haven't even gotten to the conventions yet. Wish I had a dollar for every time they've said Barack Obama. It gives me a headache. The Olympics is more tolerable. I thought I'd missed the opening ceremonies, but KSL had them on nearly all night. Used to like them but it mostly seemed kind of boring.
Worked on the studio off and on most of the day. Got about 2/3 of the carpet done and a lot of the clutter straightened up. Will do the rest in the morning. Joe washed the windows outside that needed it. A lot of them can be washed outside from inside.
Today has seemed rather insightful for some reason. Have had some very moving and sentimental thoughts, mostly about things past - people and places in my life. Some insights that were revealing. At one point while I was working it occurred to me how happy and contented I am. Just thought I'd write it down so I don't forget, and wanted to share it with you - as opposed to whining.
