Moving from Pickets to Posts

I've been posting less than I ever have during the history of this blog — less, even, than when I had the stresses and extra work of a teacher back in the autumn — and the reason isn't, any longer, that I haven't found anything of interest to write about.

The unexciting, nuance-lacking reason for my silence is that I'm trying to get all of this year's house projects in before the summer gets up to speed. Somehow, I don't suspect that I'd want to be leveling the front yard with dirt on 80-degree days. Moreover, there are concepts of which I've heard tell — "relaxing" and "enjoying your home" — that I'd like to investigate, and looming labor would seem likely to impede upon my exploration.

So, the front yard fence is built. That leaves a portion of the backyard fence to build, a house to paint, and a patio to make usable. I'm hopeful that I'll be done before the Fourth of July.

In the meantime, I think I'm managing to wrap a schedule around my days. With the arrival of summer repeats on television, June should be a more active month on Dust in the Light than was May.
