We had an absolutely beautiful day today--bright sunshine, warmer temps, and a gentle breeze.  John and I started off our day with our usual morning walk.  Our recent rains have certainly made everything lush and green.

First thing John did this morning was unload the firewood he brought home yesterday.  He then spent some time in the shop making bases for the figures he carved this past winter.  While he was occupied with that, I took care of some chores around the house.  We then got busy hanging the photos we framed and matted yesterday.  I'll have to take some photos of our remodeled bathroom and get them on the blog.


Since it was such a nice day, we decided to finish the job John started the other day--cutting down the diseased tree in our front yard.  John did the cutting and I did the picking up.  After about 45 minutes we were both hot and sweaty and thought "What are we doing working like this in the heat of the day?".  We decided to quit and wait until after supper to finish up when that section of the yard would have some shade and the sun would be lower in the sky.  That was a good idea, we were able to get the job done in much more comfortable conditions.
