I hoped to find the infamous lagoon where I can dump my black water, but I&#8217;m not sure I did. I&#8217;ll need to get confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful clear evening with a bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds, and yet there was spitting rain. Very odd!<\/p>\n<p>I came home and finished raking the lawn so I could return C&amp;C&#8217;s gardening equipment today.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I baptized the new porch with my last Texas beer. I had been saving it for the first really hot sunny day, but I doubt I&#8217;ll work this hard on such a day! Tonight felt right to have it, like I was firmly letting go of winter and settling into my summer.<\/p>\n<p>The internet gets really bad soon as it&#8217;s humid and overcast, so I wasn&#8217;t able to post this last night. Today isn&#8217;t been much better AND the latest version of WordPress is broken and won&#8217;t let me add captions to galleries or input pictures manually so I can add text below them (I have given up hope that WP designers will ever get adding media right).
