Summer Daze

Hey look at this! Can you see black shingles to the top of the roof?! Hurrah! Ron finished with the house last night. Shingles are all picked up too. Though he still has a few rows on the garage and he has to put the cupolo back on. He is only slightly bent over and moving very slowly and akwardly because of this. "Ron. Does your back hurt?" I ask. "You're walking funny." "No." he tells me. He's just fine. Doesn't know what's wrong with my eyesight because he walks just fine. Hmph. We still have another project on the docket for the summer... painting. We have the color picked out. A plan laid.
And hey, look what's volunteered to grow up right in my flower garden! A single hollyhock! Now where did that come from, I wonder. I certainly didn't plant it there. Though, it's a flower that might be one that the former resident of this house would certainly have enjoyed I think. Anyway, I get to enjoy it for now. I dug out a walnut tree, too that some squirrel must have planted in that garden. Tried transplanting it, but it's pretty dead right now. Oh well.

Man oh Man, we need to get the young guys over there to help! You need to urge Ron to enlist his able bodied boys to help with things! Poor Ron.

Looking good - except for Ron's walking.
