Sunday picnic.

This afternoon we belatedly celebrated my mother’s birthday at the AG Center. Fortunately it was quite a bit cooler than it was last month, and we found a nice shady spot. Luke was very relaxed and seemed to enjoy the fresh air.

Progress on a Saturday.

Well, the day didn’t start off so great. I went to the bank in Brentwood, but it isn’t open on Saturdays, so I had to go by the Franklin branch. The salesman wasn’t at the fireplace store, so I couldn’t get my stove ordered. But things improved once I got to the farm. I was able to quickly remove the flat front tractor tire with my new impact wrench and socket set. The equipment repair place sent me next door to the Co-op and they repaired the tire while I waited. Next I went to Big Box Liquidation and ordered the laminate flooring. Back at the farm I built a crude set of steps for the back door. The insulation guys came yesterday for their first phase, and we are getting inspected for that on Monday. So it does feel like we are moving in the right direction.
