I arrived on the Mountain just after ten last night. My mother was still up so we chatted for a bit and then I spent a bit of time on my phone before going to sleep. I woke up pretty early this morning but tried to sleep some more, so didn’t get out of bed until after eight. I made breakfast and then my dad and I went to work at the house. It was a little bit of a slow start but then we got to cranking on the soffit. It wasn’t fun to be up on a ladder again, but after several hour of hot and sweaty work we got it done. My dad did some caulking and replaced window sashes while I ran a couple of errands. After he called it a day I worked for another hour or so, loading unused cedar onto the trailer and putting up the tools. Hopefully tomorrow will be another productive day. I returned to the cottage and showered, and then we went to dinner at Papa Ron’s. We ate on the terrace and their service was back to normal, that is to say delightfully apathetic. After dinner I drove first to Green’s View, then to the back side of campus, which was closed off, then finally to Lake O’Donnell where I photographed the fireflies again. I just processed he photos and am not terribly happy with them. I will try again tomorrow evening.
