Summer has finally arrived here in our beautiful valley. The days have been filled with hanging out at home around our humble above ground pool and working on the house. My son helped build a deck on one side of the pool and is ready to tackle some other projects around the home. Our girl has been baking all kinds of goodies this month, she has found a true love for making cookies. Although she is feeling deprived of the written word, so far she has only read 8 or 9 books. I do believe she is the modern female version of Henry Bemis.
Since the temperature began rising we have been eating later in the evening, it isn't uncommon for dinner to start at 8 or 8:30 and consist of cold or room temp dishes. Every few days we start up the wood fire grill and cook several items to use through out the week. Tonight I made a simple salad that everyone really liked using some grilled shrimp...

March Madness
Spring is fighting to make an entrance around here. Yesterday was a beautiful day filled with sunshine and warmth; today hail storms and cold breezes. The reminder of how little control we have was well timed today.
My sister is visiting, my son is preparing for a speech meet with another Classical Christian School and my daughter is trying to learn how to balance life as a growing teenager. Renovations continue and work is good. The dog is comic relief always!
