Another day is about to begin, and I am still waiting for the daylight to appear over the swamp!  This is one of the trade off's for all the long days throughout the spring/summer.  Yes, the long nights during the fall/winter, but on the up side you can dress really warm and go outside and become a star gazer.  You never know what you might see!  Orbiting satellites, space derbies on re-entry, shooting stars, or our famous northern lights, or just the wonder of the star studded heavens in all their glory on a moonless night.  It seems we can find a lot to do in the cold of a fall evening, if we just have the patience and determination to get out and do it!  We only have one problem with this theory, we have to work around clouds.  But with a bit of perseverance, this to can be worked out in time.  After all, we do get a lot of cloud free days here on the prairies!!
  Today is going to be a very busy one for Susan!  She has to drive me to the city.  We have to do some shopping before her work day commences.  Thank-God she has a shortened work schedule for today.  We are going to pick up some groceries, paint, and I forget the rest, at least it is written down on the list!
  This afternoon while Susan is at work I will prime the trim boards in the basement.  I did not accomplish this yesterday, as I was not sure which paint to use.  There are to many white paint cans stacked in the basement to choose from.  I did not know which was primer, or inside paint or outside paint.  So instead of raising the wrath of the paint gods, I determined it would be wise and wait for a board meeting this morning.  Then we could have an executive decision!  Sounds good to me, right?
  The false dawn is upon us, Susan has had her morning breakfast, some executive decisions for the day have been made, and she is now off for the hot-tub!  Just like that our day has begun, I think I might pop down to the coffee shop with Donald before I head into the the big city with Susan.  It would be nice to catch up on the local election results from this week.  Perhaps we may have a new council, definitely a new mayor.  It will be interesting to see what direction or change our little city might be headed in.  These are things and issues that also effect ones decisions at Building the Simple life...............
