Campout...


...in the backyard.

Because we were up late painting the nearly completed bookshelves (!), and filling the house with paint-fumes, we decided, at 11pm, to set up the tent and sleep in the backyard. I can't believe in the 2+ years we've owned the house that we haven't done this yet! So much fun!

Without the fly on the tent, it was lovely and slightly breezy, and definitely the coolest place we could sleep, but, most importantly: no paint fumes. 

It was so nice to wake up this morning to blue sky and soft, gauzy clouds hovering above, and the chirps of songbirds (plus a few startlingly loud crow caws...), and the buzzing cicadas helped tune out the street noise.

Well, I've got to get back to it, there is more painting to do.
