Can't complain. Plenty of sunshine without the humidity.
The boys entered from the small pasture this morning.
After breakfast Rebel snuck out without his mask and headed for the apple tree.
Eventually I got it on him.
Little Wonder has been testing me. He always goes out as soon as I get up, and when I was ready to head out to the barn at 8 he said "no deal." As soon as Gary appeared he changed his mind and joined me.
After chores I went out to pick a couple cabbages . For some reason Gary planted red.
The Brussels sprouts are starting to kick in.
Also found a couple green peppers and our first tomatoes
Finn came up for a short time to help put an air conditioner in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Then, he and Gary brought the canoe out of the shed and put it on horses so it could be cleaned. I had already watered all the veggies and most of the flower gardens so the hose was ready. Jenny, who is getting married on the 10th, is going to be serving drinks out of the canoe and now it's nice and clean. We have had it for at least 3 decades and have hardly used it, so it's in mint condition.
When that was finished I decided to wash my car....after that, took it easy for awhile. Lots of company is going to be coming and I tried to get organized on paper. Who's arriving at the airport at what time? How many people are staying here....what nights? What are we going to eat? Blah.Blah.Blah.
After a nap, I wanted to do something with the cabbage...decided to sauté it with onions and apples, then made it sweet and sour. Served it with the leftover zucchini pie from last night and it tasted great, even tho it was a weird combo. We have had many vegetarian meals this week.
Chores at 7:30. Have been so pleased with the weather for the past three days....now if it would just rain. No mask on Buddy.
I got on my old John Deere and found the mask in the last place I looked.
That was that.
Night all.

Drinks from the canoe? Ice and bottles, or punch straight from the canoe itself? Sounds like the reception might be outdoors, hope for a fine day but not too hot. Mornings are getting lighter and brighter down here, but a light frost for several days on end now.
And I thought I'd read about you going canoeing - but I love the idea of serving drinks out of it even more. How clever! I should wash my car...thanks for the reminder (I think?!)
That is a very nice looking canoe! Wow, very pristine! I like canoeing and kayaking. I sure hope I can get a kayak adventure in perhaps next year.
Charlie is being weird about things too. Sometimes he just watches me go out for chores and sometimes he goes with.
I remember when I was a kid and it dawned on me that everything is in the last place you look because when it's found, you quit looking!!
Here outside Richmond, VA, we've had a glorious 3 days of cool weather and it's to continue for 8 more days. SO odd for August here when it is usually awfully hot.
Hugs!
