Back on the farm and in the heat.

I did a last bit of cleanup at the lot this morning, split a little more wood, then drove down to Columbia. I bought a new chainsaw and then went to Harbor Freight for a new drop witch for the “$400 pickup”. Then I came home. Luke was surprised and I think happy to see me, and we read some books. Liz came home a little bit later. We had a nice dinner and played with Luke some more before his bath and bedtime.

The sky was lovely and there was a soft glow out back that the phone camera couldn’t quite capture. The last picture is the automatic Google “enhanced” version that they sent me. It comes a little closer.

Active Labor Day.

We tried to take advantage of the holiday despite the heat. This morning we went to the park in Spring Hill with the hope of playing at their splash pad. Well, it was unfortunately closed due to a “mechanical issue”. Luke still enjoyed walking around the playground and doing a little swinging though. He also got to kind of interact with a couple of older kids. My dad came down a little later and we hung out on the front porch. Luke seemed to enjoy seeing him. No morning nap so a slightly early afternoon nap followed by a trip to Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill. They have a sand pile that Luke played on for a little while. He wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, but seemed to have a good time.
