Summertime and the livin' is... not as easy as it could be

Getting settled back into life with a house. I think everything I've done in the last 10 days has either been house related or band related. Our band is back together, save the drummer who is headed abroad, so yesterday we tried a new guy, who seemed to work out, though it was definitely strange playing with someone different.

The house work has been two-fold - building some new shelves that pull out, and mowing. Lots of mowing. It's been a rainy summer, and the grass is simply out of control (as are the plants that come once the grass is three feet tall). So I've spent a good chunk of time working through that - mowing, then trimming the bushes, then mowing, then cutting down small trees, then mowing.

I've got a small photo gig - trying a new career, or at least a new pro-hobby. We'll see how it works out. It's funny how all the gear I have for taking pictures doesn't include things for taking basic family shots - I had to order a new flash. Still, I'll hopefully get some experience in a comfortable environment.
