Jason finally finished the HVAC. (This was one of the last things to happen, but it is easier to put it here at this point.)
Every couple of days I must water my plants. I have seven window boxes on the deck and also seven individual pots. I have had two roses bloom again. One of them is from the farm, and I think the other was the one from Frank's boyhood house. It was really hot and humid last
Wednesday. He came in to work on his finances. We had a severe thunderstorm, and the power went out, and it stayed off until Thursday about suppertime. A big tree came down right beside the field, so I spent Thursday raking up and hauling off debris. I had known it had carpenter ants in it, and we had just gotten some "antsecticide" to take care of that problem. I think it worked on another tree. But we found two more trees with ants in them!
We had originally been told that the power would not come on until Friday midnight. We were planning on taking Saturday off to celebrate our 45Th wedding anniversary. Even though the power came on Thursday we decided to go anyway on Friday. We drove to Ohiopyle State Park and stopped to watch some kyakers.
And then went on to Falling Water.
We stopped by Kentuck Knob. We wanted to just walk around the outside, but couldn't, unless we paid for a tour. Then we tried to get to Laural Caverns. Magellan, our GPS, took us to a little, mountainous, rutty, rocky, dirt road three miles long. When we got to the other end, there was a gate blocking our exit. So, we had to turn around and go back the way we had come. This is the best part of that road, that we later decided was a ski mobile trail! It reminded us of Idaho days!
Magellan finally took us to the middle of an upscale housing development! We gave up, tried to have Megellan take is to the restaurant we wanted to go to. Magellan goofed again! We asked someone by the road, and finally arrived. All in all, it was a good day and full of unexpected twists that make life interesting.
Saturday, Frank finished working on the soffits. We had the tractor back, so he cleaned up more of the storm damage. He fertilized the lawn, and then moved some stuff from the garage to the shed. I sanded and finished tongue and groove.
Monday our drywall arrived. He started right in with it in the garage.
