Short summer strategies
The calendar reminds me that even summer will end. Already, the panic about school reopening is flooding social media (might be pandemic related). For me, a simple realization. I haven’t been out to do any of the typical seasonal things, yet. No beach time. No camping. No wandering off to get some seafood (came close on that one). When we look back on 2020, will this be the summer that never happened?
Actually, our only distraction has been the daily visits from the foxes. We think there are seven, but they don’t hang around long enough for us to distinguish one from the next. There’s white cheeks, and white front, and white tail tip, but that’s not even through the list. Something like a teacher trying to put particularities on the new group of students. In passing, our squirrels and chipmunks are working hard on their own invisibility.
With all of this free time, you would hope that I’d do something spectacular. Well, I’ve been pricing different solar panels (yes, still), and that’s all the spectacular I can handle. Forget any bargain strategy. For now, I’m going to hope that some reader takes pity and sends me several kilowatts worth. Flexible, if possible. There; you have your challenge.
From what I have read on social media, my nephew and kin have completed their fortnight in hiding. Shows that there are alternate ways to get through the summer. Will they be stopping by? No idea. Don’t want to ask, for fear I might startle them. Just joking: come on down, gang.
