Notes - a circumstance or a condition? / ready for bed

         Mid-morning. You have spent some time cleaning up the kitchen, setting up the new litter box, ridding the kitchen of the two smaller litter boxes and polishing the floor after Carol went over it and everything else with the sweeper and duster. This is your break.

         1003 hours. I have been working since an early breakfast and the paper. I have the old litter boxes (one was not used) out on the deck ready to be scrubbed with hose and soapy water. I like the new litter box because it is large enough for two cats and high enough with the top on for them not to be claustrophobic, not that cats really are claustrophobic. I still have a lot to do. I should have realized this is not for family cleaning it is a Fall cleaning.

         The last two nights we were out observing the Harvest Moon – always a beautiful Fall sight. We had the binoculars out the night before last. We haven’t had our telescope out for at least a year. When the boys are moved in next summer we should be able to make some good observations, as they will be more in the country. I’ll probably donate the scope in their care. Well, back to work. (1012)

         1203 hours. Time of another break. More to do, but nothing critical. Much more relaxed after a bath and a few more things put away or dusted. The house is looking good. Nature Plus men aeriated the yard really well this morning. I think we had the owner or manager on the job. They also really overseeded with fescue after working the aeriation machinery more in the sparcely grassed areas from the heavy equipment used in the earlier tree removal.

         While waiting for the kitchen floor to dry you had an idea about Grandma 3. – Amorella

         I did and I am trying to remember it – something about angels in their natural element, a part of which is our natural element at least as far as a Native American woman would assume such matters in her personal transcendental experiences. I was thinking about what would have been a counterpoint to an angel in her thinking of 8000 years ago. I don’t know why ‘angel’ came up exactly, it could have been a goddess or god of the lake or the frost or the leave or another metaphysical connection altogether. (1214)

         Transcendental philosophy hasn’t changed that much, at least we will assume this is so. When time permits, do a quick refresher course online. We will work it in, after all being a Transcendentalist is a circumstance is it not, or is it a condition? Back to work, boy. Post. - Amorella

         Dusk appears a bit earlier tonight due to thunderstorm activity. The boys are playing with varying colored block structures while Kim and Paul are up readying themselves to drive to college friends who live across from Shaker Run Golf Course in the nearby Lebanon area. You are becoming tired watching Kim and Paul and Carol playing the Owen and Brennan.

         2215 hours. Brennan and Owen are asleep. Carol and I are ready for bed. Good night.
