Autumn arrived this week and the sun rose due east in the coffee window. In seconds the sunlight is so bright you have to look away and just enjoy the warmth. The asphalt paving that was promised back in early July still hasn't happened ---- will the driveway be black before it's white?? The local creatures are prepping for the winter too. The greenhouse has been broken into and garbage strewn: raccoon? skunk?? fisher?? Warblers, hummingbirds, and other migrants are passing through on their way south. Not the turkeys though --- they'll be around all year.
We're on a major mission to declutter everything from the basement to the barn to life in general. The barn is easiest and most cluttered. We put out a freepile yesterday and by 5pm almost everything was gone. Unfortunately, they also took the table the stuff was on! But who would take ragged old bungie cords or 83 homemade cassette tapes or half a ratty spiral notebook?
Sadly, the barn also had to be reduced by one vehicle, sort of a game of musical cars. When the music stopped, the gorgeous and unique Dodge convertible pickup (named "North Dakota" --- get it?) had to go. This one was tougher than most to lose because we now don't have a hauler, and it was way cool. But it went in one day to a real Chrysler enthusiast and will join a '64 red Imperial ragtop in his garage. So it's going to a good home and will be on the show circuit. Sigh.
Right away real life imposed on the Zed --- how do you get a week's groceries in a trunk the size of a backpack?!
