even later summer post

Warning: Guest Blogger Alert. Heather here.
Well a month has passed. I've been in Toronto and Grand Rapids. The folks have been at the Farm. Let's see what's happened in the intervening time.
The flowers are still blooming.And wonder and enjoyment of the flowers is still blooming as well.Some sort of bug enjoys this particular tree. What evildoer is it? Only the master gardener knows....Inside the house things are similarly invigorating. There is now tile and a door in the downstairs bathroom. This blogger hopes the plumber has installed the toilet by the time this post is up.The progress, however, seems to have angered the house which threatened to eat Dad as he worked on the ceiling in the basement bedroom. Pete attempted to help the situation. Both were too near the maw for my taste.
Since Pete was spared the fate, I was forced to assume that the ceiling appreciated his Michigan shirt but didn't like dad's political shirt. Mom, fearing neurotoxin, wore all the appropriate safety gear.
She was mistaken for a terrorist just once...well...only by dad. But if he would stop arguing she wouldn't need to try to look scary. Eventually the ceiling was finished!But not until shortly after the carpet was installed!!Here Pete enjoys the floor Hoff-style. All he needs is some BK and he could end up in YouTube hell too.

All joking aside, the basement bathroom and bedroom look fabulous and will look even more fabulous with furnishings and working plumbing. The folks should be proud. And Pete should be happy because now, not only does he have the QUIETEST room in the house, but he doesn't have to live in his birthday hockey bag anymore.


Happy first day of Fall, y'all. Heather out.
