One good thing about someone building a monster-sized house next door is all the lovely summer shade it offers. For years we were beaten down on the west side of the house with the late afternoon sun - but no more. We're engulfed everyday by a coolness that would take a forest to produce. My garden loves it.

Any day now, the sun should creep back into the sunspace. It's on the outside window sill today. What a lovely time of year!

Oh and the Boulder County Police Scanner is pretty active tonight.
