| Our construction zone |
With all the other excitement I completely forgot to mention our first harvest of the garden. JB pulled a couple red and yellow onions that we used for a salad and on baked potatoes. Small but soooo good! Our potato plants are going strong on the north end of the rows, but not so well on the south end. Not sure if we didn't cultivate deep enough there or what, but we should get quite a few potatoes from the larger plants.
Still living in a construction zone. Yesterday we finished putting up all but five large pieces of the tongue-in-groove pine. We have to pull the table saw out of the shop to cut three of them. We also have to cut and put in the wood under one window and along the bottom of the tall east side which is taller than the 16' slats. The peak of our ceiling is 19'5". We plan to start with the small pieces this morning and should be able to put most of the furniture back in place today.
RJ and Mike are up for Mike's last week of the summer, and came for dinner and Magic cards yesterday afternoon. Mike and Mindy (his dog) will be spending most of today with us while RJ goes Down There. Little does he know how much work he will be doing. . .
No more snakes in the past few days, but it has been hot. Was 80 yesterday and might be again today, then we get a cooling period. Unfortunately the nights have not been cooling off like they usually do in August. Oh, well. Just makes the snow that much more to look forward to.
Thought for the day: Who dares for nothing need hope for nothing.
