Change, my friend, this is what we call change

School ended last week. I have to say that I am glad that it is over for the time being because I was all schooled out. But it did not happen smoothly. It seemed as if Rexburg knew that it was the end and wanted to make sure that those leaving would remember the true weather. Following several days of gorgeous weather there came a storm of the likes that I had not seen in awhile. The region roared back it's head and pummeled our little town with snow and a wind that must have rivaled the wind from a ocean storm. So I left that town in the cold. And if that was not enough, the Rexburg weather flung his influence far south that affected my home state.
But that is all in the past now. I currently am experiencing a sunburn from working outside yesterday. What a difference.
It was a gorgeous day today. Warm with a slight cool breeze so as not to get too hot. I worked all day hauling HUGE rocks, tearing sheet rock down, pulling insulation out, hauling more rocks, and transplanting some plants.

"yes, Mr Plant, the doctor will see you now."

I have yet to see if the operation worked. Cross your fingers.

But the day has left me tired and sore, which I will enjoy. That is a sign that you have made progress. Stronger muscles and farther along in the project.

Don't you hate it when you come across a tune in a song that is one of the most beautiful things ever and it only is a part of the song? They don't even expound on it, which is an awful thing to do. So the only thing left is to repeat that one part again and again not quite feeling satisfied because you have to repeat it again far too soon. I wish I could write music so I could take that tune and write one song, or a score that would leave me feeling full circle after listening to it.

I love books. I love the story. There are days that I could sit all day and just read a book because I am so interested in finding out how the story unfolds. The library has been nudging me since I've been home to come and visit, and more importantly, leave with a book. I could use a good story right now.

  1. I totally know what you mean about that snippet of song that you wish they would expand on, but they don't! And the rest of the song just doesn't have the same sway, so you sit waiting for that one part! Good books? I have some you might enjoy...

  2. I can relate. One positive thing is that you don't tire of the piece very quickly. Like glimpses of a future that beckon you on.

  3. Love this post Nathanael even though I'm months late in reading it! Yes, we had some pretty superior working days in the spring. Thanks for all you did. You've got a bit of a legacy here to show for it.
