Lisa Mandina — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Sunday: Woke up to a cooler morning, not really any damage, although a branch from one of my trees had fallen into my new neighbor’s yard. It was too big for me to pull back over the fence, so will see what they do. The neighbor before them would have just taken care of it. But these new people will just leave their trash – big things like plastic tubs and bed frame poles – sitting in my yard.

But it’s fun listening every time and…

Lisa Mandina — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Once again trying to get caught up on my goals, so this is a topic I’ve kind of thought about in different forms for a while. At first I was going to ask if the way I do my wrap-up posts, sooooooo long with so much detail about what is going on in my life, was annoying to people and if I should switch to much less detail.
