Summer arrived in northern Minnesota today with temps reaching into the low 80's.  The weather has been so nice that, after our walk, we were able to eat breakfast out on our screened porch.  It was very enjoyable eating outside, listening to the birds, and watching for hummingbirds at the feeder.   

John keep busy part of the morning working in the garden keeping the weeds under control.  When he got through with that job, he worked on the boat again and got the trawling motor hooked up.  Sam Lark had given John a little table before we left Texas.  It was pretty beat up, but he has been working on restoring it and today he got it finished.  It's beautiful--now we need to decide where to use it.  The warm weather forced John  to work inside this afternoon and he got some of the trim back up in the bathroom--just one more door to hang and then it's done.

I finished up the laundry that I started yesterday.  With the warmer weather and more working out of doors,  the amount of dirty clothes has greatly increased.  I also got several of the downstairs rooms dusted and vacuumed.  I think I've finally gotten the last of the tile dust out of the house.  We spent a pretty quiet evening watching the Wisconsin election returns and several other TV shows.
