We had thunderstorms with heavy rain overnight and that brought very high humidity for this morning. Needless to say, John and I worked up a sweat taking our walk--we almost made it back to the house before the sun came up. Once it was up, the temps and humidity both started to soar.

After breakfast John went down to the shop to make more parts and I started painting the big wall in the living area. Last night we had all the furniture pulled out from the wall and the trim removed, so I was able to get started first thing. I gave the wall two coats of paint, and was finally finished up a little after 4 p.m.

John mowed the lawn this afternoon using his new mower. It was amazing how fast he was able to get it done--probably in half the time it took using the old one. Our green beans were ready, so John picked a big bucket full and we got them snapped and ready for processing--we'll do that tomorrow. Wednesday is also start of our county fair and entry day. We'll be taking our photos and wood carvings into town early in the morning to get them entered in the fair.
