Summer

[drscott]

Spent the afternoon cleaning the pool and sweeping the deck of pine detritus. This has been neglected for weeks as other developments occupied my time; and the algae is starting to grow under the increasing sunshine and warmth. I wore skimpy shorts and got a start on my tan, and even so I was sweating out there. The pool filter's pressure gauge shows it needs cleaning again, a one-hour job which involves a lot of kneeling and spraying with the high-pressure hose nozzle, so I get all wet doing it. I'll reserve that for the end of the week.

A tree service is scheduled to come Friday and remove a lot of the Monterey pine tree that overhangs the pool. They were hired by the owners of the tree (which is rooted next door) but will need to do some work from this side. So I'll be cleaning the deck again after that.

I have a long list of housecleaning chores. I've set them up as tasks in Outlook so I can be reminded of the many things Mike used to do that I now need to handle.

Melancholy is a two way street dear. The many tears we shed together over the past few weeks has brought us closer together despite different addresses. I have a great deal of love for you and that shall not change.
