I left the house about 9:15 last night and drove up to the Mountain. I wanted to be at the lot early this morning in case the excavator showed. Unsurprisingly he did not. I spent the day hauling brush to the dump and splitting wood.
Hot Sunday.
Liz’s parents were here until about noon today, and in that time we went on a hike at the new nature park and enjoyed a pancake brunch. After they left we just relaxed around the house, then went to the playground after Luke’s afternoon nap. Dinner was a new white bean chili recipe, which was pretty good. Second picture shows the weather headed our way. It looks like summer will never end.


Farmer’s market, fancy cars, football.
We started off the day with a walk on the greenway and a visit to the farmer’s market, where Liz bought some bread. Next Liz’s dad and I went to Cars and Coffee downtown while Liz and her mother went to Franklin with Luke. Back at the house we set up the TV on the front porch and watched the Michigan game. I was the only one happy with the outcome of that contest. This afternoon we did some work in Luke’s room – we hung a bookcase and curtain rods. Dinner came from Puckett’s and we spent a lot of time in conversation.




More waiting for excavators, watching the sun set.
Split more firewood and hauled more stumps. Visited Debbie and Charles next door. Walked to Day Lake for sunset. It felt glorious out.

Waiting for excavators, watching the sun set.
I hauled more stumps to the dump and split more firewood. Now just waiting for the guys to come grade and dig footings. Now clue when that will be. This evening I went on a drive and ended up at Lake O’Donnell. It was lovely out and I took lots of pictures with my “real” camera. Below is one with the phone.
