Summer, ugh.
Jul 31, 2026
Is it the heat? The news cycle? The Orwellian setting aspects?
Summer is slaying.
Where is the pause button?

Generally, my love of mowing prevails. Time to think, no distractions. Exercise with a purpose. Sense of accomplishment and some new ideas.
This summer?Not sure there has ever been so much sweat. Hydration priority.
Maybe just ready for Saturday. Need a lovely summer afternoon nap.
Tomorrow.
Anyone else feel the need for things to slow down?
