A GREAT SUMMER

Once the warm weather arrived, the summer was fantastic!  The veggies in the garden perked right up and flourished all season.  I still have peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, cabbage, tomatillos, squashes and carrots in the garden, no frost yet.

We golfed more than ever this year, clocking over 40 rounds so far and hopefully, more rounds in early October.  It was good to have the balance between recreation and “work” at home.  

Painted all of the exterior doors in the house and the shop (6 man doors and 2 overhead doors)

Colour Before

We also went out boating on Christina Lake more times this year and swimming was pleasant.

One of Stuart’s projects was to replace all the valves in the 9 zone irrigation system.  He did the first 4 valves in one manifold box individually and it was tedious.  So for the second manifold box of 5, he built the entire manifold in the shop where it was easier to work.  Then he cut all the pipes, dug up the manifold box and inserted the new build.  It worked well, much easier to do and no leaks in any of the valves.

We have no idea if or when we might be able to return to our RV lot in Arizona so we are moving ahead with home plans for the next few months.  It will be nice to take our time getting the outside winterizing done and not be in a hurry to put the plants to bed for the winter.  We do have a new inside project in the works right now and will update the blog when that is done.

Take care and stay safe.
