Four bumps on a log!

We've decided to get down to the beach as much as possible during these lazy days of summer, when able, after a day filled with animal duties, chores and sometimes extra physical labour jobs necessitating helpers.

It was a lucky day finding a perfect log, positioned in the right location on the sandy beach, awaiting someone to push it back into the water. Then, the fun began...


When able, steel rakes have littered the driveway side close to the garage, as the soil from the bobcat work and consequent weeding sessions, continues to be leveled little by little, for the grass seed scattering. However, with dry, tough clay mixed in with the soil, digging or raking with steel rakes, hasn't been easy with continued high heat temperatures surrounding the task, limiting our hours of exposure, though little by little, duty continues to call us there, and we hope to have these areas on the driveway, and around the front of the barn complete, with grass seed sprouting by this weekend.





Crossing our fingers anyway for the weather to co-operate, with the soil being just right and pliable after a thunder storm and shower the past 24 hours. As I type this, the sun is waving at us in the west, perfect for our dinner time. Jeepers! Maybe we'll have to go to the beach or to the porch for our sunset viewing instead tonight....
