It's late July and I've not posted in a long time mostly because I (we) have spent my time enjoying it and not writing about it!  It's time to catch up.

So far this season we have done the following:

- fixed garden fence
- repaired faucet near garden
- cleared larger part of garden than last year and planted a variety of things
- re-vitalized the screened in porch
- had the phone restored (with old phone number - 413-258-4734)
- put in a cordless phone
- replaced propane line from wall to stove
- cleaned foreign matter (plastic, garbage) from compost pit
- purchased a used weed-wacker/edger
- put aluminum around some apple trees to deter porcupines
- continued cleaning/organizing barn
- trimmed roses and lilac
- other things I can't remember now

Sarah was here with us before she went back to Ireland and we had over Gary Danko, the contractor who assisted with figuring out the chimney leaks last season.  Sarah wanted to get an estimate on painting the kitchen and both bathrooms.  This is currently a work in progress.
