Bob and I went down yesterday evening (a little less hot and nicely shady) and mowed the yard. It really needed it. We've had plenty of rain this summer. The gypsy moth trees are leafing out slowly. The old swing maple may be on its last legs, though. There are a LOT of bare branches. The crab apple next to it has totally re-leafed out, but the other one by the field is still barren of leaves. There are lots of yellow daisies blooming in the garden in front of the barn. And flowering 'weeds', too.
I turned on the water heater and fridge again in preparation for Aunt and Cousins visit next week! I'm so looking forward to the whole weekend!
