Approaching the Hump

.

The next few weeks of summer -- those are the hump. They are hot, and humid, with no breeze in sight. Once I get past those weeks, I know autumn will eventually come, but right now, I can only see the hump. Must get over the hump.





We had a good holiday weekend -- four days of celebration. We enjoyed the company family and friends, fireworks (professional and the street version), and lots of good food (you didn't come and now we have leftovers!).


We had the first softball playoff game (which they won, so now we're on to game two).

Yes, that was a strike, but she eventually got a good hit (after her mom stopped trying to get a good shot).




Go team!




We had a four-legged visitor. My cousin and goddaughter brought her roommate's new puppy to say "hi!" He was very cute and very well-behaved. I guess so, he's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel -- good breeding ya know. ;-)





We had a deck accident -- me, a rotten deck board and a cartoon-style falling through. I'm fine, albeit bruised. There were a few tears until I realized that my leg was not actually broken. And then my husband hustled himself to the big orange hardware store for some new wood. And Faith had a hammering lesson.

A teachable moment there.



In a day or two I'll have pictures of my living room makeover. I'm waiting for my Pottery Barn curtain rod to arrive and then it will be finished. In less than a week we will have four windows replaced and then I'll get on to a dining room makeover. It's The Summer of Latex Paint. Hopefully by the time I see the other side of the hump I'll have a dining room and hall redone. Happy climbing.
