I’m sitting on my deck tonight. I just finished a walk around my property. I try to do that each day. Though this summer the mosquitos were vicious so I did t do the walk everyday. They are settling down a bit so tonight was tolerable.

I cleaned up the house a bit today. I really enjoy it when things are put away. Living alone I have found I can go great lengths of time without putting things away. In fact, I might have little stacks of projects in various stages. I can still hear the echoes of voices from my mom and my ex wives telling me to put stuff away. My rebellion comes out a bit when I choose to ignore them. But, really is it them I hear or my own voice? I know I enjoy a clean organized home. So why the days where I let it go? It probably is a matter of what is important to me in the moments.

I also replaced a few under counter lights with LED variety. It looks pretty good with the new lighting. I think I’ll put a smart switch on them with a dimmer.

Now I sit on the deck writing this out. Here is a look at what I see from here. The red building is not mine. But the view of the distant sky is all mine. It’s been pretty awesome. I do love it here.
