Day 1338: More progress!

18800 lengths = 96.1 miles!

It was a busy, difficult day, so I naturally turned to the pool.  Swimming gives me such joy.  All my concerns are released as I skim through the water and gaze at the sky.   I keep my eyes focused on the tall white pine along the property line as I backstroke on the return.   There's just a hint of color in the maples, now, and the nighttime sounds foretell the beginning of autumn.  Of course, swimming is better when the water temp is increasing rather than dropping.  Our heat wave has pushed the water temp back up to 80!

Aggie May spent the day working on our wood stove and its smokestack.  A portion of the stack had rusted and two segments were crooked.  It was a bear of a job for her, but she succeeded.  She has taken care of our stove since we moved in here in 1988.  She's been at the business for forty years now.
