Today began rainy. The little shed I am calling RedTop was supposed to get a 'lean-to' but hey, will they come, risk being rained out? The workers drive in from a little town an hour away. Turns out the rain just teased us and tonight my little addition is nearly finished. I will be so happy to have a place for paint cans and bug spray.

Learned two big things in the last two days. The tide ebbs and flows. In and out. When you walk out and the mosquistos are crazy, the tide is sitting....about to change....... so there is no wind.

I have a new riding tractor today. She is cherry red. Got her on Saturday. Tonight at about 7 I cranked her up for the first time, and oh my goodness, how fun and easy and useful this cherry red baby is.

I am blessed and grateful.
