Our rental at 9th Street is changing tenants, so we scurried over to get it painted. That was the last big chore to do, and now it's done! Yay! Before we started we painted a swatch to make sure we liked it.
And it came out looking great! It has a very homey, cabin-like feel. I was afraid it would seem dark, but it's perfect for its setting.
Here's the side view.
After each day of work, we went out for food and beer. Here we are at Burgers and Brews. We also went to Winchester Goose after.

Weather Note
It's definitely summer. It was cooler this week, fortunately, only getting into the mid to high 80s. But last week had some 90-degree days. For once it didn't rain on the fair, but it did rain the weekend before. Everything's been a little early this season...

We helped Ann move a refrigerator, so she baked us a pie! It was strawberry rhubarb, and it was delicious.
Ann is a good baker, and the pie was worthy of another shot.
My gourds are thriving.
And I'm even getting some ripe tomatoes starting. I picked this borg today, so first ripe tomato before June!
This tiger is almost ripe.
Peter Piper picked a peck of purple peppers... These are coming along nicely.
As are the purple tomatoes.
Rick got the perches up in the henhouse. It's almost time to move the babies in there. I put them in a temp pen yesterday just to get them used to it. They enjoyed dust bathing.

What We're Eating
I got my grain mill, and I made pizza dough and bread out of it. Both were astoundingly good. Freshly milled grain is vastly better than storebought.
I also made some more seasoning salt. We love this stuff. This batch was oregano, garlic, basil, sage, and mint. Very good! These small jars hold 2 ounces.
