We are into our ususal August cold and rainy season. We have obsessive compulsive weather. Gee I think I will be hot dry and smokey. Now I will be cold and wet for a few days. we have been processing green beans and peas, and the cabbages are starting to head up. The lillies and dahlias are still going strong. I have been engaged in mechanical pusrsuits. I have been spending the last week or so in upgrading the heating system in the shop and hangar. After all, it’s only been 26 years since I installed it. Some how at 73, shoveling pit run gravel is not as much fun as it used to be. It seems like it is one megaproject after another these days. I need some elves!
You need Minions! They work cheaper than Elves, but it does take FOREVER to get anything done. ;)

I give Beau SO MUCH CREDIT for the BEAUTIFUL job he did in restoring This Old House. It had sat empty for five years before he started the remodel - you could see the SKY from the upstairs landing! He said it was easier once he moved the raccoon family OUT...
That said, we have this conversation all the time:
Me: Beau? We really need a new water heater.
Beau: But I just installed one!
Me: Babe! That was 35 YEARS ago!
