This morning was a little warmer when we took our walk, but it was still very pleasant. There is still a lot of water standing in the ditches, but with no rain in the forecast, hopefully these sunny, breezy days will dry things out and help keep the mosquito population down. I forgot to put repellent on before walking and ended up with a couple of bites. A heavy frost would take care of that problem.

First thing this morning, we both headed up to Sara's for haircuts. John got his done first and then went with Matt and Hanna to Bemidji to pick up some salon supplies for Sara. After they got that done, they went into Clearbrook to bring Sam home from football practice. Matt and Hanna then bought John home and while they were here the guys went out to check on the bean fields Matt has planted earlier in the summer.

After lunch John helped out in the shop for a bit (nothing strenuous) and then did some more grass cutting. It's amazing how much the grass keeps growing this late into the summer. Usually we don't have to do much mowing in August. I spent most of my day cleaning some of the downstairs area--with going out to different appointments everyday I had fallen behind in getting things done.

This afternoon I went to Weight Watchers and then rushed home in time to grab a quick bite of pizza before we headed up to church for Bible study.

It felt good to get home and have a quiet evening watching the Little League World Series. Matt, Sam, and John are really into watching the games and enjoy discussing them and trying to pick the winners of the different brackets.
