So hard to believe that summer is just ticking away!
Gardening came in with full vengeance with so much rain. I still cannot keep ahead of the weeds. They have overtaken my plot, but I am harvesting what I can as I go.
Right now, the house has a wonderful smell of tomatoes, roasting in the oven, covered with olive oil, garlic salt and pepper and rosemary. The dehydrator is full of zucchini and the process of making chips. I only planted one cucumber plant this year and it is bearing more than I can eat, so I have been donating to clients and to a local small restaurant .
The house is still underway. Still not finished, but we have made progress. The patio is built. The only thing left on there to do is the epoxy on the cement. We just finished the garage Floor yesterday it has a second coating on it and was also epoxied so we have to wait and let that dry. The laundry room will be the next one to get the epoxy. Then once we trim out and put the door frames in those rooms will be done.!I never knew that building a home would take this long. I feel like we have been living in this mess forever. I just want to get things in place and get rid of the dust and the boxes.
The grandkids are getting ready to go back to school. The oldest boy will be in second grade and his little brother starts preschool this year exciting times for their household daughter her oldest little girls gonna be in first grade and then they have a six month old baby girl as well who is in daycare, so fun to watch the grandkids grow and talk to them about their days
This past weekend we had our county fair one of the better ones around the region. I asked my grandson what the highlight of the fair was for him and he said he got to eat a snowcone. lol I asked what flavor and he said cherry! :) I guess it just goes to show. It is always the simple things that mean the most.!
I did get in a quick trip a few weeks ago with a girlfriend we loaded up and took off for Medora North Dakota went to the musicalAnd to the pitchfork steak, fondue supper, we stopped in Dickinson on the way back at one other city campgrounds enjoy the day just sitting near the water, watching nature we both packed some art stuff to work on some water color and just relaxed!It is always nice to get away, but it is also nice to come home!
