We had a pretty quiet day. This morning John went up to Matt's to cut another load of firewood--he didn't haul it home as it needs to be split. He'll do that another day when he can get Matt or Sam to help with the splitter.

The majority of my time over the past week had been taken up with the fair and painting, so today it was time to concentrate on restoring order to the house. I did four or five loads of laundry and got all the crystal and dishes back in the China cabinet. I only have a few more chairs to get back in place around the table and to rehang the mirror. We'll take care of that tomorrow.

Rain started around noon and continued into the evening--saved John the job of watering the garden and flower pots. Since he couldn't work outside, he worked out in the garage and has finally gotten everything stored away. The pickup truck is now back inside and out of the weather. We spent the evening watching a few TV shows and a movie.
