This summer has been rather wet and cold. But that’s been a good thing I think. It’s kept that horrid sun from baking our garden and kept us from having to use a ton of water to keep our garden growing. In fact I don’t think we’ve had to really water it more then I have fingers on one of my hands.

But how’s it holding up?

Well let’s look at see.

There’s a flower on the strawberries! If it actually works, this will be our first real batch of them. I really hope so, maybe we can make some jam (like we’ll get that many..hahaha). It’s still neat though, and if I’m lucky I’ll actually get one this year. Those kids pick everything before I get home from work.

It’s Saturday again (well as I sit and write this it’s past Saturday), and what did we find ourselves doing? That’s right, if you’re any sort of regular here - you know it’s just another work day (I’ll fight liking it till I die I think).

This Satuday, I was tasked with framing in the cement pad - no biggie, I’ve done it before (and I would have linked to a post about it, if I hadn’t lost everything earlier this year).

My father in law dropped off some 2×4s and metal stakes to set it up. So I started getting everything in place by measuring 20ft from the sidewalk - marking it and then measured from the drive way 8ft.
