August Day 7


We have lots of parents at our house today. What does one do when so much family comes to visit? Why, you put them to work. We power washed the front of the house and the deck, and began to stain the dormers.

We also weeded our garden beds and pruned all of our bushes. Living in the country comes with certain disadvantages. Poison Ivy is one such disadvantage. This year has been extremely bad for poison ivy, and we seem to be growing beds of it in our gardens. It seems everyone here but me has lots of problems with our three leafed friend.


A lot was accomplished today and with luck tomorrow will be just as productive. It's amazing how much can be accomplished with a group of people working on it. If only my sister were here to put to work as well.

A little over 6 hours outside today power washing, staining, and weeding.
