While Maricopa residents went to report today, I went to sleep. I enjoyed every moment of it, too.

The renters are doing their outside activities in the early evenings these days due to the heat. They were burning trash this evening, plus a couple of evenings ago. This is how I know they’re out there, though I kind of figured as much. Indoors with the windows shut, I couldn’t hear anything.

The single silhouette I did on the wall by my office door has faded a great deal. That wall gets more light than the one where the other 3 are. This is okay, though, as I don’t like how this one came out, or the one in the retreat.

I never did order those beauty supplies I was going to order. Instead, with the little bit of stock money we just sold, I ordered a handful of things from a gift catalog – wind chimes, border punchers for decorating stationery, etc.
