Days like to today are why I chose to live here.

Yes, it's a very red county with all that entails. No, there aren't many choices for ethnic restaurants (except Italian).

But it is beautiful all year 'round, and temperate enough in the Summer to be delightful!

I can't imagine a more perfect day in a more beautiful place. 🌞

Good morning.

More beautiful days here in NEPA. I'm up early, feeling good. Hoping this will be a big energy day. I have lots to do, and getting at least some of it accomplished before nightfall would be its own reward.

Hope you enjoy a pleasant and productive day, too! 🙂

Wild mint used to grow at the end of our creek, just before it poured into our lake. It may well still be there, but I haven't checked in many years.

I've also smelled it here driving past other creeks: seems to like moist soil and flowing water.

Just rechecked the weather, and we're to have another 7 full days of sun, gradually getting hotter.

Time to Get Things Done! 🌞 🙂

We're scheduled for over a week of sunny, good weather. Let's see what I can accomplish with that, eh? 🌞 🙂

It's normal here to have 2-3 beautiful days/week, with showers on the others.

A rare bill in the #USA #Congress related to housing. For a description of some of the stuff in it:

"streamlines #NEPA reviews for certain infill housing projects to accelerate construction timelines and increase #housing supply" including LIHTC.

Lowkey I am also wondering if some of the stuff in here is undoing important regulations on banks that were put in place after the 2008 financial crisis? Eh, I'm sure everything will be fine.

Today's storm is blowing just about straight in from the East with strong winds, soaking the front windows. This is unusual, but it's the second time this Spring.

When we we get high, gusty winds like this, I get a little antsy about the dead Ash trees in the woods out back. At least the wind is blowing the "right" direction, if something's going to come down — away from the house, and landing them parallel to the house, rather than on it. 🌬️ 😬
