Hot and humid weather continues here in Catlin Hollow. Makes it hard on the people that work outside, but I guess they get used to it and continue on. Lou and I try to get the majority of our outside work done in the early morning and late afternoon and do inside things during the heat of the day. Thank goodness for central air conditioning.
We had seamless gutter installed on our home several years ago, but many of the screws have loosened or broke off. Lou tried to repair some of them last year, but I hated to have him up on the ladder this year to work on the task, so I asked my nephew, Jeff if he would help me out and he was only too happy to do it, in fact he more than did the task, he found several trouble spots and rectified the problem, so we shouldn't have ice on the steps this winter. He has even agreed to replace board on my little barn that need to be replaced, so we should have things looking good before we take off on our trip.
Krista has been scraping paint on the big barn when she has a few minutes and when we have a good weekend we are going to get that painted, but we certainly want to have cooler weather to complete that task. They are getting ready for a family vacation in New England, which they are all excited about, which is not an easy task with the allergies, so Kris has been busy baking bread and such to take with them. Those of us that just pop into the closest restaurant to sample the local fare don't think of such things. Their whole family have become experts on what to look for and Lou and I are getting better at it.
