Our weather really cooled off today--it was in the mid 50's when we left the house this morning for our walk. The higher humidity has gone--hopefully this weather will continue to move eastward and cool off the rest of the country. Since it was so nice out this morning, I took a walk around our "estate" and took a few photos of John's fruit trees and woodshed.

to put in some wood


First cherries ever on our tree

We followed our normal Sunday morning routine--breakfast and then off to church. Our church is on its summer schedule, so we were back home by 11:30 a.m. After eating lunch, John removed the trim from the next wall to be painted and I got everything set up to do it. While I got the wall painted, John mowed more grass. The heavy rains and heat of the past few days have caused the grass to grow pretty fast.

Our kitchen project is now on hold until the new counter tops are installed. Once that's done, we'll be able to put up the new back splash. Next job is to paint the three remaining walls in the living room, but first we need to decide on the color and get the paint. We started to restore order to the kitchen and plan to get that job done tomorrow. I'll post a couple of photos once things are picked up and put away.
