This has been a whirlwind weekend. It started off Friday night, the last day of school for my daughter, Grace, and she was excited! A local church was having its annual festival, and a number of her friends were going to be there. Of course, she had to go.
Saturday brought yard work. Did I mention I'm an avid gardener? After having neglected the garden for a few days, there was much watering weeding to do. I'm always so excited to see the progression of the plants in our garden. We have strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, peach trees, a cherry tree, grape vines--not to mention the vegetable garden and herb garden. Everything is doing so well! In fact, I think in a few weeks we may even have some fresh tomatoes.
Sunday included church and then a barbecue at my sister-in-law's home. Family was all gathered (as much as we could be with our son and also our nephew in the Navy and far away from home). Still, it was great to get together and spend some time catching up with the nieces and nephews. It's hard for me to conceive that they're all growing up so fast!
Today was a little more calm. We decided to start the painting project we had been putting off for a couple of weeks. Of course, we waited until mid-afternoon to start. We're repainting our living room in the colors of eggplant and clay. The eggplant wall is finished, and Grace will start on the contrast walls while Scott and I are at work tomorrow. Thank goodness she loves to paint.
I'll keep you posted on the progress as the week goes by ...
