The Lake House
lighter:
The hummingbirds have gone. Their feeder looks a bit sad, but I remember they were drinking the extra sweet syrup like mad when I refilled it. It's a comfort to know they were well nourished before their migration.
I forgot the lake house has 3 rentals in November, which is a crazy thing to forget, but there it is. I'm numb regarding cleaning and readying the space.
The place, where the dock used to sit, is just water now. Unbroken shoreline....the eater's way up, so it looks.....good. It looks like 5 hours time I won't have to adjust, troubleshoot and wire solar lights back in place, patch the island or clean anything....adjust the horse stall mat and wood chips at the walkway. That safety issue's been scraped from my plate and I know I can't drag the walkway back on land.... I'd be knee deep in mud and fail, so ...off my plate.
Oldest DD is celebrating her birthday in ATL with my brother, her roommate and DD22 today. She'll travel back to lake for weekend long celebration with friends and bf. It's cool enough for bonfires and I'm enjoying tidying, cleaning sheets and planning meals for them. Mostly I'll stay out of their way.
The dad staying with us has rented a nearby Airbnb for the weekend, bc his gf is flying in and she's.....
she's possibly BPD, based on cursed past behaviors with the roommate and her dad.
Alcohol and everyone aware of her nuts koo koo crazy gives us very good reason to keep a distance. The dad's proper protective, imo. To be honest, my chill mode's been out of order. If it comes back ...it won't be the same and that's a good thing, ime.
I refilled the regular bird feeder with seed, but no takers so far. I hear nearby crows kawing and some general chirping in the trees, but not seeing many birds.
There are huge Golden Silk Orb Weaver spiders in huge webs, however. Almost walked my face into one this morning.
Baby girl pug resting in the sun with me on back porch. Breezy and just about perfect temp. I felt a little dizzy looking towards the dock and not finding it. Guess that'll happen over and over for a while.

Hopalong:
Hoping you cancelled the November guests, Light?
Your peace and wellbeing are more important.
You could give them a raincheck credit for spring....
I'm glad your DDs have been together and are distracted
and happy celebrating in the city. Oh to be young!
Are things near your home making you think forward?
The shock waves and changes there must be overwhelming.
Lastly, it's touching you feel responsible for the wildlife
but they'll deal with what nature flings. I like the peace
you and pug are finding in the sun, on your porch.
Sending support and peace...
hugs

I'm not worried about the F'ing birds, Hopsy. They're a lovely distraction and now there's wind chimes on this gloriously cool and downright breezy day.
I'm going to shower and clean the glass doors now....maybe with my teeth. My brain wants to ACT.....to be industrious.....to be busy. Laundry, trash runs and Goodwill hunt for shirts without paint marks will fill my afternoon.
Attempting shrimp chow fun recipe for dinner.
I just looked up and things barely moved, so dizzies almost gone.
lighter:
Hope, I'm not cancelling this first November rental, bc it a retreat for functional medicine practitioners I'd like to court.
No more Airbnb, for me....
Functional medicine retreats feel like a positive direction. But then, so does selling the place. Sort of.
Hopalong:
I feel for you, Lighter.
You are in the middle of so much, and your psyche must still be stunned to some degree.
I hope all the peace possible, from all your good long-term practices inside and out, will accompany you in whatever direction things need to head.
hugs
