Long Weekend

It was nice to have a long weekend off. Andy worked some more on the front porch. He parged the block foundation wall.On Monday, I did some errands and a little tree & bush trimming, but not much else. I was pretty tired because I hadn't slept well the night before, so I took it easy. I did make a nice dinner and we sat on the deck to eat it. It was such a pleasant evening.

I had more energy today so look out, world! I cleaned house, made zucchini bread and did laundry. Around 11:00 am Andy took off on his bike down to Lake Oswego, a 34 mile ride. I left at 12:00 noon to meet him there. He made really good time and by the time I arrived at the lake, he was only about 10 minutes behind me. That lake was pretty crowded, so we left and went another 2 miles over to Harrisonville Lake. We were able to relax there as long as the breeze was kicking up. But when the breeze stopped, the flies were biting. We stayed about an hour.

The view from my chair (when my eyes were open!).
The sky was so blue today with not a cloud in sight.

I was reminded of Psalm 19: "The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands."

On the way home, we stopped at a roadside stand and bought some Jersey fresh sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches and a huge canteloupe. Guess what's for dinner! Turkey burgers & corn on the cob. Yummy!
