ORDS OF THE DAY...

Listening to a monk who lives alone on a mountain he said, 

"I have grown fond of the silence." 

This sort of describes me, I speak to my dogs but they don't speak back.  I actually made a video for my DIY channel, and it doesn't speak back so these things I can do without issue.  That's the first one I've made in months.  I do it mostly for my own satisfaction.  

It's been a while since I complained about the guy who has purchased the land on my North boundary...he only comes there occasionally and what he is doing, I don't know...I just wish he was not there at all...I have never had to have window coverings on my living room windows but now I need them...since he cut down so many trees between US, he provided his screening on his front boundary and no one  is across the road, HE thinned the area between us to the point I can see him....he is not very clever.  HE did plant some trees that one day will be big I HOPE so did I some Cedars, Holly, and Magnolia.  I wish they would grow faster. 

So I think just white roll up blinds will do.  At first I thought curtains but that's expensive, And it would mean installation and hardware, and then taking them down for periodic washings, so I really don't want all that extra work.  I made all the curtains in the rooms where I have them except the sheers in my bedroom...I can get some inexpensive roll up blinds for just a few dollars, put in 2 screw hooks in each window and it's done...In the door that has 9 glass panes, I think I will go with the same type thing I put in my bathoom...it's a clear film that Blurs any sight line,,,you can see light or moving shadows but not clearly.  It lets in light.  I will cut one  hole in the center so I can see out the front door without opening it.  I only have to lower the blinds at night when my inside  light is on.

Today my sis and I gabbed on the phone for an hour it only disconnected once, which is about normal...It was so humid all day a huge storm, the one that created the tornadoes last night in the mid south. drove in this humid damp air...I did split wood this morning, but so far it's comfortable and I don't need a fire...behind this dampness is a cold front.  

I made Lentil soup for dinner, it was good.  I have enough for a couple days which is awesome...one bag of lentils and it gives me a lot of meals, I ate 2 bowls, since I had skipped lunch.  It's been a typical Saturday for me...and now it's time for relaxing till bedtime.
