The past few days of sunshine and warmer temps have brought out buds on some of our trees. We can finally see a little bit of green if we look real close. However, with all the moisture we have had, our grass is growing like crazy and will need to be mowed by next week. Last week we picked up a new battery for the riding lawn mower and filled the gas can, so everything should be ready to go when John decides to cut the grass.

Matt picked up John this morning and they headed back to the job site where they finished sheeting the roof and then put on the tar paper. It is now ready to be shingled next week. John's part of this job is done as he doesn't do roofing any more. When he got home after lunch, he went back up to Matt's to get another load of firewood. The woodpile is starting to grow once again.

The temps were nice and the winds calm today, so I thought it would be a good time to start washing some of the windows and putting in the screens. It's hard to believe, but the mosquitoes are starting to come out, so we can't have the windows open in the evening without the screens. I got all the upstairs windows done today, so we now can have some fresh air at night. We spent the evening reading, working on the computer, and watching some recorded TV shows. Tomorrow our plan is to start working on the garage if the weather co-operates.
