Missing My Place

It's already the end of June, and it occurs to me that I've spent very little time enjoying my place this month. It's just been one of those months. I've been busy as hell at work, putting in long hours and going straight to bed when I got home. There were a few nights when I didn't even light a candle. Just walked into the dark tent, turned on the flashlight to quickly check for critters, and hoped into bed. I also took 10 days off in June and spent the whole time sitting around the pool with my girlfriend and staying at her place, so I didn't see my place at all during those days (but hey, I'm not complaining!)

The past few days have gotten back to normal. My vacation is over, and work is tapering off. About a week ago I spent the better part of a day getting my place back in order. The weeds had taken over my path and the inside of my tent was in need of a good cleaning. But now things are getting back to normal, and I'm enjoying the tranquillity again.

It's getting hot, too. Not too bad so far, but Summer is certainly here. I'm enjoying the heat so far. It's still in the 70s at night so I'm sleeping fine. I usually leave the door open through the night. I'm enjoying the long evening light, too, but now that we're past the solstice...no, I'm not gonna think about that yet!
