Blocks

 June 25, 2021

Unprecedented progress in the morning, both writing and the thing that is hardest for me, submitting. When that was done, I drove to Lowe’s to buy a load of cinder blocks to address the bear-attacking-my-basement problem. Their personnel being not in the giving vein, I ended up loading those blocks three times–once from the floor onto a kind of buckboard, one from the buckboard into the truck, then from the truck into a tiny castle around the assaulted window, the rest lined up against the fence for future work. I think my battlement will work because one of the virtues my bears do not seem to possess is diligence. Make it too taxing and they just move on to something else. First planting of orange cosmos sneaking into bloom.
