Summertime has taken us by storm here. Literally, as we had a week of rain the start of vacation. It was lovely for the garden ~ new cucumbers are thriving, as are the cactus (cactii??), tomato plants, pumpkin seedlings, and watermelon seedlings.
I spent an hour and a half weeding this morning before the sun climbed and the heat arrived. I put stakes in for the tomato plants and cages too; there are blossoms and small fruit on the plants. I am hopeful to start harvesting later this month.
During the rainy week, we painted the kitchen cabinets. We took all the doors off and drawers out, and sanded everything down. It took three coats of paint but boy it looks super! My dad helped with everything and also painted the ceiling. It looks like a brand new kitchen, bright and airy. And easy fix and more frugal than replacing the cabinets with new ones. The biggest cost was the time.
