We got a box of Colorado peaches. I peeled and sliced them, added a bit of sugar and fruit fresh then Far Guy stirred them up and put about a peach and a half in food saver bags that we put in the freezer. That way we can enjoy fresh peaches during the winter.
It took us less than an hour to complete that project!
Minnesota weather: High 79F or 27C Low was 59F or 15C eh!

We stopped by to see the new Little Library. It is really cute! These gals are quite the carpenters and painters!!
I looked at the books but didn't take any. Next time I will take a book to swap.
I might even have some bookmarks to share:)

Was it a midlife crisis that they both suffered at the same time? Andy turned the big 50 in July, Jen will turn the same number in September...and what did they do in August?
It sure is pretty and now Andy can go to car shows!
Not sure I could ever drive anything with a hood that long but it might be fun to try!

Jen and I teamed up to paint a porch sitter. A porch sitter/leaner is a piece of wood that usually has a design or says something like welcome, home etc...it sits on your porch leaning up against the wall.
I did the blue/green and then Jen painted a sunflower on one end and I painted on the other end.
It was a fun project! I think it turned out great!
The sunflowers in all the sunflower fields were turning their heads downward from the weight of the seed heads.
Grain harvest has begun and some of the bean fields are starting to turn color.
Minnesota weather: High of 82F or 28C Low was 60F or 16C eh!
Long time friends Mike and Ginny from Iowa stopped by today and then my other baby brother and she who sees robins first, then nephew Josh came by with his new puppy who is really cute!
Supper was steak and a baked potato along with the first yellow pear tomatoes of the season.

Sadie is such good company except in the mornings...she likes to nap the mornings away...I guess I do too if possible.
I called her name and she lifted her head very reluctantly...how dare I disturb her morning nap. She eventually got up and turned the other way so she didn't have to look at me.
I am all done with my Doctor appointments for a bit. Everything is on the way to being normal for an old lady according to my Primary Care Doctor. Come back in six months he says:) Keep on doing the exercises and going to PT he says...alrighty then. If my left leg swells put a compression sock on it and elevate! There is no reason for it to swell...no blood clots etc...just an old lady thing. My back and leg pain will just take time a long time to return to some kind of normal.
We ended up with six medical appointments this week, five Up North and one locally. It was a week. We are safely back at home in the woods.
Far Guy has a bit more appetite now, at 132 pounds he can eat whatever he wants. He still has burning mouth, nausea and tummy troubles and other side effects from the cancer medications.
