Time Flies

We've been home from vacation for a week now and I feel like summer is slipping away. I took the summer off so I could tackle several large projects that I've put off and I haven't started on a single one! I guess I should have worked after all - I'd be finishing up next week.

I spent way too mush time this week working on my family tree. I made some progress but I need to put it aside for the few good weeks we have left, unless I can find time to get to a courthouse or two to look for records.

Mike and Alex were here until late the other night and we had our first fire of the year. I was was nice but still a little cool to enjoy sitting out there for me.

The cool rainy summer is not making for a happy garden. It's been great that I haven't had to water but everything is blooming late. I planted zinnia seeds at the beginning of June and I haven't had a flower yet. I had big plans to redesign three beds and I did finally start on that. If the weather holds for the weekend I should get a lot more done!
