The morning was sunny and warm, just perfect for a walk.  We left the house a little earlier than normal to try and beat the insects that like to buzz around and be generally annoying.  

Right after breakfast, John headed up to Matt's where he spent the entire morning splitting and loading the wood he cut up the other day.  When he got home, he unloaded about half the pile, took a break to eat lunch, and then finished the job.  Our woodshed is completely full, so he's stacking this wood between the trees.  The plan is to not use the wood in the shed, leaving that for when we are gone over the winter, and burn what is stacked by the trees this summer and fall.  John still has more logs to cut, split, and bring home.

I kept busy this morning finishing up photos for ebay and installing software programs I use on our new computer.  Also got our home network up and running so now our laptop and desktop computers can exchanged information. 


This afternoon John worked some more on root removal and restoring the stone blocks around the flowerbed.  When we first made the flowerbed 14 years ago, we had two layers of blocks.  Over the years the first layer sank into the ground, so John had to dig out those blocks to rebuild the wall.



 
I continued cleaning our home office this afternoon.  I only planned to sort through the files for our computers, but somehow ended up going through all the files and getting them cleaned out and organized.  After supper John and I went outside and worked on planting flowers in the reconstructed bed.  We got finished just as the bugs were arriving.  I also took a few photos of our garden--it's coming along pretty fast this year.
