Summer 2018 update

So far summer (my favorite season) has been pretty good. It started out a little cool in June but it has warmed up nicely since. There has even been a couple of heat waves with temperatures in the high 90's. The gypsy moth infestation wasn't as bad around our house this year with the trees keeping most of their leaves. Other areas were hit pretty bad though. There seems to be quite a few eggs on our trees so we'll have to deal with them. A bear visited our back yard in June but we haven't seen it since.

We've been to a few baseball games this summer. We have seen the Hartford Yard Goats twice and the Red S0x twice too. We're going to see a Yankee game in August which we're both looking forward to. The Yankees are Susan's favorite team. We went to Maine for a few days in June. The weather was nice but the water was too cold to go swimming. All of my kids were there too which made it nice.

We've been a little work around the house. We had a room built in the basement which will be Susan's sewing and crafts room and my photography room. I have 15 trays of slides I want to convert to digital. We also started painting the breezeway. It has old, dark paneling the will look better with a lighter color.

We got a kitten (Pepper) this month. It will keep Zoey company when we're out. They seem to be getting along pretty good so far. Zoey does chase him around at times but it's just playing.

Summer is going by way too fast. It's already the last week of August. I'm not working my one day a week anymore but I said I'm available if needed.
