Sunday, minus the Sun

A closed mind is like a closed book: just a block of wood.
-Chinese Proverb

A truly refreshing light rain. Weather extremes do not sit well with me.
I am a fibromite.
Quite ready for 60 degree fall weather.
Our voice from Brazil tells us- it is end of winter in Belo Horizonte.
50-60 degrees and comfortable.
Last night someone got into the yard and left our garage door wide open. If Rocky was attentive I don't know, as I had taken 2 tylenol pm's to get to sleep around 2 am.
Nothing of value in the garage- cars were locked- side door was / had been? left open when I checked. Nothing seems missing. So what was the point ? Sometimes I think our next door neighbor, who admits to staying awake all night- tries to drive me crazy with these little things when he knows DH is out of town. He knows that by the absence of the car DH uses for work. He sits in his kitchen and watches everything from his front window.
I think he has even followed me on errands...I know it sounds like a mind gone 'off'-
but you would have to meet this guy: 'weird' doesn't cover it. He 'works' out of his home- and they never go anywhere-
On the other hand- there were 3 people here on Wednesday- cable co sent this very slow guy to install new outlet for the pc. He was so slow other operators were coming here to take the calls that he was not going to get to ( One of them said "Hi Honey" to me- which is always infuriating ) so- there was a ladder left out and you know how easy it is to 'case' a place if one intends to return. However- the easy access & the ladder sitting openly in garage did not result in any maliciousness- so what do I make of this ?
Conclusion: will talk DH into replacing gate with a locked closure. and will have to lock everything up at night, especially while he is gone.
Rocky is handy to have around- but I still go around locking all the ground floor windows ...our little town has its' share of break ins, etc this is not paradise.
Sweet summer nights are inviting. Located one house down from the corner makes us prime target. But I still think it was the weirdo next door.
