Almost There

This week at school was a lot of work. Wrapping things up with the students, starting the report meetings, and doing some prep work for next year. At least I got to come home a bit early on Friday. This coming week will just be some meetings and more prep work. Feels like it should have been summer break a few weeks ago, but we are almost there.

Came across some cedar lying in a dumpster just down the street. It was the cladding on a house. Some of it was still in pretty good shape, so I have been working on salvaging it. Hopefully I can get a bit more today.

The weather has been cooler and and rainy, which we really needed, but it has slowed down the tomatoes and I have felt a bit crummy all week. The girls have had a cold too.

Haven't been working too much on my business lately. Focusing more on finishing up the novel (again) and planning out the dome. Don't seem to have motivation for much else. Yesterday we took the girls to the skate park for the first time. I was crushed to see that they had fenced it off, closed it down. We practiced a bit on the basketball court instead. Abigail is really learning to rollerblade. Amélie likes the skateboard, but gets bored with it quickly.

We have a few baby tomatoes.

The girls built a tower that they wanted to send to Auntie Claire.
