CATCHING UP

So a couple of weeks has passed.
The summer is flying.

What have we been up to?
What have you been up to?

We have been buying and installing new fences.
You know, good fences make good neighbors.

Talking to a good neighbor over a good fence, or inviting one in through the gate is grande……

If you didn’t have a fence, you couldn’t talk over it. Or if no gate, you couldn’t open it.

As H.V. Morton said, if a gentleman didn’t wear a hat, he couldn’t tip it to a lovely lady.
I love it.

We have refurbished koi pond with a rock garden.

We have spent two weeks in Copper Harbor, Michigan…a land of enchantment which we have been privileged to appreciate for ca. thirty years.
Dear Son came in 68 in a field of 300 in a Copper Man triathlon: swimming; biking; running.

His first time…he was seeking just to get the experience…not to win….
Next year will perhaps be another story.

We journeyed North to a land of wolves and coyotes and bear to be with family and to be with such as only the North can offer.

And Granddaughter is beginning band camp…we are helping with instrument and transportation.

And we are digging stumps…and painting…and repairing small engines.

There is truly no rest for the wicked.
Actually, we do rest a lot.
