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.

I spent the morning organizing the garage a bit and mowing the back field. Then I got a call from the logger saying that he could meet this afternoon. I prepared dinner in the slow cooker, ate lunch, then headed up to the mountain. The logger was super nice and said he could come over tomorrow. I went back to the cottage and split a bit of wood after that. I was too lazy to go photograph anything.

It continues to be in the nineties and will be for at least another week. No rain in sight either. This morning we took Luke to the park in Spring Hill. He walked around a bit but didn’t really play on the playground. While he took his morning nap I prepared dinner in the slow cooker (rice and beans with lots of added vegetables) and did some cleaning. After lunch and a little play time I went outside and cut grass. It was hot as blazes but I enjoyed it. I cut the front yard with my little push mower, then started on the back field with the tractor, cutting until dark.
