Yesterday was a nice sunny day to wash laundry. It was windy but with the sun it made the towels dry soft and fluffy.

Nothing too bad that kept us awake. How thankful we are when a storm passes through not leaving any damage.

Summer rain, Father’s Day, and home renovations

Winter weather returns amid butchering and painting projects
Winter weather is back! We’ve received around three inches of snow and it’s still snowing. The roads must not be the best as school is cancelled for today! I let son Kevin sleep in, so he doesn’t yet know school is cancelled. He will be happy when he wakes up.
