Hohenwald.

This morning we drove west to Lewis County. Our first stop was a lavender farm which was having a little festival. That was kind of boring, plus I was a little upset about the absurd price I paid for some baked good. Next we drove about 12 minutes to downtown Hohenwald where there was another little festival. Luke enjoyed the inflatable obstacle course and Liz went in a couple of shops. On the way home we hoped to have lunch in Hampshire, but the restaurant was closed. So we stopped at the newish Towne Coffee in Columbia. It was nice.

Summer is here.

Sorry, no pictures to make this more interesting. Luke’s summer break started a couple of weeks ago. He is enjoying it so far. We have been to the splash pad a couple of times and done a bit of work at the house. Lots of travel is looming.

Walks, raised beds, and swings.

I went for a walk at Yanahli after taking Luke to school. I did quite a bit of work outside before building Liz a raised garden bed out of some short cedar boards. I will try to build at least one more. My final act was hanging Luke’s new swing from the beech tree in the front yard.

Updates.

I’ve been doing more than reading. Here are a few pictures from the past month or so.

Luke and I built this on his first couple of days of spring break.
