Arrived Friday evening. Bert was already here, working hard as usual. Blake and the boys came up on Saturday morning and spent the night. Ashley, Allan, Nick and a friend, Nan, Lisa, Mom and Dad came up on Sunday for the day. We swam and played. Ashley and family spent the night on Sunday.
- Friday evening I did a lot of walking around. Picked some plums. The blackberries are so sweet.
- Saturday morning while I waited for Blake and kids to arrive, I pulled weeds. I spotted a copperhead as I was reaching down into a tangle of plants and weeds. Bert shot it. We spent the day swimming and riding on the "mower" - a new electric vehicle I bought for the grandkids. They left on Sunday morning.
- Sunday the rest of the group arrived. More swimming. Nice day. Ashley and family left around noon on Monday.
- I spent part of Monday afternoon cleaning up the Rose Garden. I cut away all the Ox Eye Daisy seed heads, staked some Brown-Eyed Susans that were leaning into paths, trimmed ground covers so they weren't leaning into paths, weeded, and watered.
- I spent some time in the Orchard as well. I trimmed verbena out of the paths and weeded. I spotted a short, fat black snake with very subtle dark markings under some flowers where I was working. Yuck. I picked some plums and called it a day.
- I noticed the metal cable on which we have the grapes trained has fallen down on one side. I showed Bert so he could fix it next weekend.
