Lorena finally threw me out of the upstairs. We have visitors coming and she firmly believes, after over a quarter-century, I am too much of a slob to have my office anywhere close to an area where visitors might visit let alone spend a night or two. Actually, we are planning to do some remodeling downstairs in the near future and were hoping to do that work before I moved everything down, but there are too many visitors planned and the timeline keeps stretching out, so we decided to bite the bullet and make the move. I REALLY like it. It feels a lot closer to nature on the bottom floor and I can still see Mt. Rainier when clouds/fog/smoke/haze is not blocking the view.

I enjoy going to Boston a lot, but it nice to get home. We have deer and other littler animals in the yard all year long, but this time of year they come in droves to eat the fruit that has fallen out of the trees. Because we pruned the trees this year, there is a lot more fruit on the ground than last year so we have lots of visitors. This one is cleaning up under the plum tree. Actually, it is nice to have them, not only because we like to watch them, but because they clean up the rotting fruit that would make a mess otherwise.
