First, there's the work on the guest room. I stripped wallpaper. David repaired plaster. We painted. David removed the carpet. Now he's updating the built-in dresser top and then will come sanding and refinishing the floor. Here are some "before" and "during" pics. "Afters" to come ... after.

Our garden seems to be thriving. We finally got some needed rain and both the lawn and the vegetables spurted growth. Our neighbor, Melissa, has been donating perennial flowers to us. Our own carrots, tomatoes, basil, thyme, oregano, cucumbers and collards are doing well.

I've started back in ukulele class; my new Mya-Moe ukulele is (finally--after 18 months on the waiting list and 7 months after paying a deposit) in progress, due to be delivered on August 8.
David and I went kayaking this week. We launched at the beach at Birch Point State Park, and paddled up the coast. It was a beautiful sunny day. We saw ducks, loons, gulls and a bald eagle.

Well, that's the news from our house. In the wider mid coast, the news of note is in the ever expanding job market:
Pay + goat milk - what a deal! Interested?
Peace, peace, far and near.
