Returned at midnight last night from a very pleasant visit in Pennsylvania. Visited with Alyce and Ben, Ann and Jeremy, Charlie, Johnny, Edmund, Willamina, and other Darringtons. Had my first--and likely last--pedicure.
Came home to Boise to find:
- My family here well, I believe
- My house still standing
- My new roof still looking good
- My air conditioner working well
- My Rose of Sharon in bloom with its lovely, delicate light lavender flowers
- My lawn looking terrible, and I don't believe it's merely the heat
- Fires behind the nearby foothills
- The air smoke-filled
- The battery in my car dead. Again
No need to say how the dead battery makes me feel. AAA will come in another hour to jump start it, but then what I do not know. I cannot depend on it. Apparently.
