this day was gorgeous! sunshine and cool enough to not sweat unless you were involved in hard labor outdoors. i opened the house in hopes of warming it up. i mowed the lawn. i hate this job. it's miserable, fumey, jarring, LOUD, nasty, and unavoidable, redundant. and i always gripe about it. my knees hurt after. i cleaned indoors, too. not exciting. laundry i hung out, my favorite job. figured out some bills and sent letters off. a satisfying, not very important day. down the hill from my place the little church had a revival. they were very quiet. resident birds and tree frogs were more noisy. black flies stayed elsewhere.

make sure you hang your horseshoes the opposite way--to keep in the luck.
