This Week

My week can be summed up very simply as -  the fence.  I replaced 64 ft of the fence on the West side of our yard.  Between  clearing out vines and brush, demolishing the old fence, putting in the new fence posts and then attaching the fence panels the week was pretty well shot.  At least everything went well.  There were no major issues.  The weather was OK, too.  Monday and Tuesday mornings actually started out cool.  I finished actual construction on Thursday and have been cleaning up

Here is the finished product.

I still have some clean up to do and dispose of the pile of old fence.

The only other worthwhile news is that the garden is coming along nicely this year.  We picked and ate 2 squash this week.

Blackberries

Blueberries

Tomatoes

Squash

ity bity Cucumber

the whole garden

I also planted 2 scuppernong grape vines.  I don’t expect grapes this year but at least I finally got some planted.  These are my favorite grapes and eating them reminds me of summer swims at Nana’s house on Poquito Bayou.

We had Pre-Cana all day today and had possibly the best small group discussions we’ve had.  The people running pre-cana are leaving town and we don’t know who, if anyone will take the lead for the next one.
