That’s ten bins in the back.  Two more bins under the front of the couch.  Twelve bins, all out of sight out of mind.

A good start.

Name that moth on the screen door.

The best I could do was maybe a Double-striped Pug.  Here is a photo of one from the web.

Not so.

For-all-things-bugs-and-birds-Jon tells me it’s a New Mexico Carpet Moth.  Here is a picture of that one from the internet.

Yeah.  That’s a closer match to ours.

We’re leaving on a trip in a week.  We’ll spend the month of July in Colorado.  Time to get the gear out of storage and make sure everything is in order.

Bins, sleeping bag, some foldable camping chairs and tables.  All the bins will fit in the trunk space at the rear of the van under the bed.  We’re being meticulous.  We want to be as organized as we can be.

Short-shadow Day.

The longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.  The shortest shadows.  Everybody go outside and measure your shadow at noon.  The one with the shortest shadow wins.  We didn’t have a competition this year.  It’s a given.  I always win.
