It was another pretty, although cooler, day out here in the country. I finished installing the safety latches on the kitchen cabinet doors. I wanted to get on the tractor and move some dirt, but it seemed too wet. So instead I read a lot and watched the latest episode of Hawaii Five-0. This afternoon our friends came by with their four month old son. They live out of town and so we hadn’t seen them in ages. This was their first time to see Luke. It was a very nice visit, but did throw of his nap schedule a little bit. I didn’t prepare a slow cooker meal today because we had plenty of leftovers built up. I do have a nice dish planned for tomorrow though.

I had to run errands in town this morning. When I returned Rickey still hadn’t arrived. He actually never came, but did send a text around noon saying that he would come Monday to finish up. I prepared another meal in the slow cooker (beans and rice), and spent the afternoon working in the house. We went on a walk along the greenway early this evening. Not many folks were out.

Luke had a pretty good day. Lots of flopping. He ate some vegetables with his fingers.

I started the day off by splitting some firewood from the huge cherry branch that fell a couple of weeks ago. Then one of the guys that we bought the farm from came by and picked up some of the old flooring and the doors that I had saved. What he didn’t want was taken out near the burn pile. Most of the wood has gone bad from sitting out in the elements for so long. That’s frustrating, but it also feels nice to be getting rid of it.

I went to Kroger for a few items and then returned to prepare a meal in the slow cooker. It took a while due to a lot of chopping. Speaking of chopping, I also bought a bunch of bell peppers that were super cheap. I chopped them up and froze them. What a pain! After that I ate lunch and then returned outside to move more wood around and also move some dirt and rock. The place is really getting cleaned up.

Liz’s friend Susan came over this afternoon and will stay the night. We chatted with her and played with Luke. He was having a lot of fun “falling” backwards on the bed. Dinner was the butternut squash and lentil dish that I prepared in the slow cooker.
