Neighbor’s vines from a few weeks ago, coming along well.  Currently eating local blackberries, blueberries, cherries, plums, and apricots with peaches around the corner.  Work has slowed a bit as it has been very hot (up to 35 a few days).

Completed a firewood shelter beside the shop made of four 4×4 posts, a 4×4 beam, five rafters, some lath on the ends and the rafters, and a metal roof.   Wood is from trees on the property that had been cut to length over the past 2 years and split this month.  Almost 2 cords should be lots for the winter!  Side of garden shed is in the back, awaiting roof, windows, doors and one more side.  Currently working on gate beside firewood shelter.  Fencing material arrived today! 

One gate and 2 steps mostly completed.  Gap will be filled with welded wire fence and a few more rocks will be placed beside the steps.  Steps will be topped with river rock once we get the 5 tons we need (not too urgent).

Enjoyed the 1st Annual Upper Booth Sip and Dine Evening wherein 16 of us visited 7 houses in the neighborhood.  A great time was had by all.  We served Greek style harumaki,  Pineau des Charente with white wine, and ouzo.  Also went to see the play Midsummer’s Night Dream outdoors at Spearhead Winery.  While not my favorite play by Bill, it was very well done and most enjoyable.

And the big news is I shot a 42 for nine holes the other day, including 7 putts for birdie (of which I made 1). By far the best round I have ever had.
