It's a quiet afternoon here in Sonny's North Carolina.
Brief rain moistens of the earth yesterday evening, and today the skies clear and pleasant, with small birds singing in the branches and an abundance of greenery on every hand. I took Maggie the dog across town to a bend in the Eno River called fuse ford, where she greatly enjoyed doubling her toes and dipping the rest of her self among the rapids deep in the state park part of the Eno. The new floor on the tool shed is almost complete a precise array of shiny pressure-treated joists is perfectly installed and footers of been poured to anchor the joists to a frame and the frame to the ground and of course to the walls.

By and large, I am very satisfied with my decision to remove from Southern California to North Carolina. My happiness will be complete when I find totally effective barrier against mosquitoes and midges for summer use.
