Pete and Repeat

There seems to be a repeat of last year! (It also happens to be that I posted about it too.) Our neighbors cut down the tree behind their garage. I'm not very happy because now there are NO (large) trees to shade houses or yards during these hot months we're getting into. :( I also feel bad after cutting down 3 large old trees and then not putting something in their place. It's not like there aren't trees but they are all at the edge of the property's and don't give much shade because of their location. I think my elevated garden might suffer now with more southern exposure during the day without the tree to shade it in the afternoon. Which reminds me that I need to check my garden to make sure the people taking down the tree didn't damage any plants (or the land they drove over). At least they were fast taking it down and did it during the afternoon instead in the wee hours of the morning like last year with the two whoppers between the houses.

Listening to audiobooks while doing work on the computer makes me feel like a great multitask-er and very productive when not working on virtual school.

Liver pain sucks and screws with my whole body. Hopefully it will just keep getting better until I recover.
