The front lawn has been mowed. Mosquitoes are out in force. Paper wasps have attempted several nests around the front porch again this spring; last year they were impossible to drive off. Yesterday I knocked down three or four small nests around the porch and this afternoon when I opened the door there was a new one in the top of the doorway between the wood door and the security door. Game on.

And to make the day one to remember I'm putting in the new router. The goal is to have its footprint identical to the current one so none of the 18 connected devices need to be reset for passwords. This one won't hang on the wall so I've cleared shelf space in the pantry and am finding more things to donate or sell. And has me thinking about how I might reconfigure the shelves in that small space.

Another item sold on eBay this afternoon, one I was ready to take down and give away because it had been listed for so long. That's nice.
