  • Went to Aunt Babe's last weekend, for June/July birthdays, and to have a work day on her place. Painted the Kitchen and Back Porch, really brightened it up. Then we took the railing and old steps off the deck, built new steps, installed a new section of flooring, and built a bench seat.

    Rich and I went down there today, finished the railing and one piece of floorboard.

    Her little garden bench looks nice, Paulette brought her a couple potted plants to sit next to the bench, that was a nice touch.

     I did a little hoeing, then we started the water on the garden, it was pretty dry. Lots of melons and tomatoes springing up. Picked 5 cucumbers, but the little Gerkins are not producing at all. Have no idea what happened to them, but those are the ones good for pickling.  We will have buckets of tomatoes, it looks like. Lettuce is doing well also. Beans will be marginal. Hotter than heck out there, 95 in the shade.
