Field Notes- Sunday, July 30th. Son's Birthday. The computer had a reminder up top.


 It rained all of a sudden yesterday...at about the usual time I go out to cover the Annual Planters.  And it really rained.  And the banner on the TV suggested flooding etc.  So they didn't get covered.   And this morning my husband thought I had gotten up earlier to uncover them...because why would he remember our discussions on covering them in the pouring rain last evening???  He had no recall of ANY of that.  Zero.

It's like his Browser refreshes every 20 minutes. Wipes clean in between.

In the mailbox..when I walked out for the Sunday paper........mail from Saturday.  A LARGE change in our home's property tax assessment.   Houses on this street have sold for far LESS than the tax assessments. So the Town Fathers decided to increase valuations and get a larger chunk of money twice a year.

Just because they can do it.  

It's tax deductible on the Income Taxes.  

But the real MYSTERY........when does the mail person come these days?  I never see the mail vehicle. Do they come in the middle of the night?  Before Dawn?  Every other Day????? Not at all.......mail just appears on it's own?????

Anyway, everything got watered last night while we slept.  Ground looks well hydrated.  Ornamental Containers survived...uneaten by deer.  One of the Twin boys was powering his skateboard with his father's Leaf Blower. On the street...  rather than put on shoes.  A look into the Future.....
