trying to remember my excuse for being so lax in posting much in august, i looked at photos. \u00a0i was pretty busy doing stuff outside.<\/p>\n

i power-washed the little dock, and wow, what a difference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

lester approved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

while i did that, kevin installed a portable toilet on the boat. \u00a0he also bought a privacy curtain! \u00a0he thinks of everything. \u00a0he replace the big bench seat with a smaller one, which he was in the middle of attaching here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i’d borrowed amy & jim’s new power washer because ours broke and at some point i realized that i was burning the hose. \u00a0so dumb. at least it didn’t burn all the way through plus luckily for some reason kevin had an extra hose that he could swap for it. \u00a0it’s always something.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

meanwhile…another beautiful evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i set the old bench seat amongst the chairs around our fire pit. \u00a0very comfortable, a couch by the water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i found this great stand-up to give to kevin for his birthday, and added the caption. \u00a0i set it up the night before his birthday, and it’s funny how many times princess leia has startled me. \u00a0i assumed he’d take her down to his man cave, but she’s sitting in the living room right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

a handful of the crocosmia bulbs i planted flowered. \u00a0they didn’t do that well, but i assume they’ll come up in more abundance next year. \u00a0everything is suddenly burnt up because we’ve had a last bit of ridiculous summer heat, plus no rain at all. \u00a0for example, right now at noon it’s 90 but feels like 94. \u00a0it looks a little like fall with leaves on the ground, but feels like the heart of summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

uh oh..chester decided he was desperate for a mini cupcake. \u00a0 cats don’t like cupcakes, but nobody told chester.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

as i was driving home one day i stopped to look at these fawns, who were taken aback while their mom continue to snack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

lester, with the best view in the house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

amy gave me these beautiful yellow canna lilies – she didn’t know which ones she bought were yellow, and they’re so dazzling and still blooming now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

the last hurrah of our very old and dying peach tree. \u00a0we used to get an unbelievable amount of peaches from the two trees, and now the last one has had it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

here’s a “where’s waldo” peach – see it in the upper right corner? \u00a0there were actually about five of them, but they all disappeared. \u00a0we need to plant something else next year. \u00a0i love mimosa trees, but on the other hand it sure was nice to have our very own peaches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i’m staying inside today because of the ridiculous heat plus i managed to get a cold two days ago. \u00a0i’m trying to be very still, hoping \u00a0it won’t linger.<\/p>\n

like i said, always something.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
