Well, they are saying that the end is in sight. Thursday is supposed to be the last day of temperatures in the nineties. I’ll believe it when it happens. Today was pretty miserable again. Fortunately we were able to talk a walk at the new nature park before it got too warm. Luke didn’t take a morning nap so his afternoon nap was early, but long. He woke up just in time for the Lions to lose to the Chiefs. We went to the greenway before dinner so that Luke could run around some more. He had fun. We ate dinner, played a little more, then he went to bed.

Still no excavator. I cut what usable wood I could off the stumps at the house site and split it. About half a trailer’s worth total. I used my new chain sharpener and it worked well. Sharpened the chain about three times because the stumps had so much dirt on them. For lunch I cooked up one of the delicata squash I bought last night and it was very tasty. After loading up the trailer with firewood I drove home. Luke was napping when I arrived so I unloaded the firewood and started loading the trailer with trash. Then it started raining. That was really nice, as we were parched. The rain lasted a while. When Luke woke up he wanted me to read to him, so I read Wheels on the Bus. After Liz finished work we went to the Greenway. Luke loved playing in the fallen leaves!
