Summer Doings.

It's really and truly Summer now. In our neck of the woods Summer doesn't start until the day after the 4th of July. This year it was a little early in that it came on the 4th! Since then we have had sun, heat, and all the goings on that comes with it.
Last Summer we were finishing up the remodel of the upstairs bathroom, the last of the household projects. This Summer is the beginning of the Taking the Yard Back initiative.
We are finally moving our efforts outside to claim the yard as our own and find its potential among its usual tangle of weeds.
So far the biggest improvement has been the addition of Greta's Playhouse. Grandpa went all out and assembled the most darling little playhouse/jungle gym out there and Greta has been spending the majority of her days outside. She hasn't been clean since.
But perhaps the most exciting thing has been the start of our deck. The cement is being poured today and construction should begin this weekend!
What bliss! To have a deck to sit outside on during our few and precious Summer days. Eating, playing, and entertaining...just what Summers are for.
More to come!
