Mono Monday : : Shadows

...stripes and circles. 
It's been the perfect temperature for coffee in the arbor in the mornings. I have just replaced the cushions on some old Adirondack chairs because the old ones were left out in the rain once too often. When I saw the shadows of the solar soji lights hanging from the arbor it allseemed to, well, shadow the patterns on the cushions.

It seemed like a perfect SNAFU of the digital age that we were summoned to sign some papers today which OilMan 'docusigned' last week via computer, but he didn't think I needed to. Not only did I need to, but the 'deadline'
 for docusigning has passed, so we both had to go and sign in person. When we arrived in separate cars because we were going on to separate destinations, we were told that what had already been done was good enough. We signed the paper anyway.... 

Somewhere, in vaults and basements and file cabinets, on shelves and credenzas, and in refuse dumps and recycling bins all over the world there are astonishing amounts of paper which someone required sometime and nobody will ever read. We received, in return for our signatures, or in spite of them, a stack of paper to take home...the assessors report on our house. There were pages of incomprehensible boilerplate, some severely underexposed pictures of the inside of the house and some overexposed ones of the outside. It's interesting that we both forgot that the assessor was coming so the pictures definitely gave the house that 'lived-in' look. At least the bed was made.

We go back on Friday to sign yet another batch of papers that we will never read....

Thanks to 60plus for hosting the Mono Monday challenge this month.
