Catching Up on Summer


I was a little shocked to learn I hadn't blogged here since April.
So I figured one big post of the summer
would get all 2 of my readers you caught up.
In May, we had our first camping trip with the new-to-us popup.
It was also the dog's first camping trip.
I'd say it was a success.
We had rain.
We had a lot of rain.
I think we had more rain than the Biblical flooding of Noah's time.
It was definitely more than 40 days and nights.
We salvaged some stuff from the parochial school at the Catholic church.
Yes, we cut out an entire double door entry way.


We had some baseball.

We starred in the town's annual cabaret show
(this year was based on the 60's)

We dug up more garden space and found bricks.
I really hate bricks.
We had another camping trip, this one being a week long vacation
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

We saw wild ponies.

We burned stuff.

I started a project in the upstairs hallway.  
It's nearly done, 
and I'll post all the before and after photos when it is.

The garden hosted many monarchs.
I had so many caterpillars that they stripped all of the available milkweed.
I'll have to plant more next year.
(I had a lot- close to 20 large plants)

And there were shenanigans.
We also were going through some stressful times
concerning our family's place on the water.
You can read about that here.
So the summer is behind us,
and there are lots of projects ahead for the fall and winter.
(and more time to blog)
