This summer
my garden got off to a good start and before too long became a vegetative entanglement.
everything seemed to break - dishwasher, dryer, clothesline, car wheel, bed, front screen, barn door,
radio, alarm clock, bathtub faucet, cellar door, wood stove, cellar window. some of these issues
have been addressed, some haven't.
won $450. worth of lobster in a Lion's Club Draw.
took the cash and put it towards a very efficient wood stove, although I had dreams of one big
shore party.
my wood, ordered in May, didn't arrive until late October.
friends and family helped (well realistically) stacked the wood very interestingly using the
a creative method. beehive shaped stacks of wood are works of art and dry wood effectively.
discovered that having a bum knee is not only painful, but socially limiting.
went to a boat launch where the boat didn't launch. a good time was had by all.
was so happy to experience the little white church on the cliff (1860) transform to take on the
extracurricular responsibilities of Saturday morning local market, local art centre, community
gathering spot and hub of creative renovation.
watch neighbourhood child sprout.
missed the fresh tomatoes that weren't, thanks to the unwelcome visit of Hurricane Arthur.
didn't paint the front porch especially the bright pink floor and front stairs
The summer that will be is beckoning to me already. For christmas I received a wonderful gift, from my daughter. My lawn will be mowed by someone who isn't me. The porch floor and steps will get painted this summer.
