Monday Musings - June 4, 2012

1. A beautiful weekend spent outside working on the deck. We got a lot accomplished. There is still a lot to do.

2. The Orioles are beginning their mid-season slide.

3. Good friends, hard work, something accomplished is the sign of a good weekend.

4. I had this idea that if we had part time legislators then we would have fewer nuisance laws being passed--but then I recalled the latest session of the Maryland Legislature when they failed to address the big item, the budget, and had to be called back for a special session to raise taxes to fix the budget.




5. Deconstruction and construction projects create a lot of mess. Here is the first load ready to head off to the landfill.

6. Here is the pile still waiting to be loaded for transport.



7. We have a catbird that had adopted our backyard as his play area. Although this seems nice, who knew that catbird's were so noisy?

8. I enjoy the sounds of the morning. Birds singing in the trees broken only by the sounds of planes overhead and cars revving their engines along with the occasional siren headed off to an emergency somewhere are a symphony of life.
