The rain letting up yesterday wasn’t really long enough to get anything done outside, but today should be dry all day. This morning I met with a local teen and their parent about taking over mowing, and I think...
Saturday started out pretty normally – we went to the local flea market, ran a few errands, got lunch in town, and made it back home in time for the thunderstorm. Since then, it has been constantly raining –...
