Well this week has been fun! we hope everyone had a good 4th of July. we are so glad to live in a free country! we had so much fun when Emma came down to hang out. We went to a slip 'n slide party, talked a lot about Harry Potter, and played corn hole with the Nilssons. we went and gave Emma a tour of BYU Idaho with the Nilssons  in the 98.F weather everyone was sweating and we all agreed it was time to go. we also had a fun time watching the fireworks with emma.  They were spectacular!
We've been working hard in the yard and finished a fire pit and the chicken coop.  The chickens have done a number on the garden in the last few weeks, so we are hoping to get the run finished before too long.
Ian mentioned the heat in the opening paragraph.  Yeah, folks it's hot!!!  Meltingly, suffocatingly so.  And that Idaho wind that keeps things bearable in the summer?  I think it has melted.
I feel like we have been doing a lot of things but not much worthy of note.  Trips to the library, sleeper house stuff, home maintenance repairs, mornings at the farmer's market, and lots of time outside.  Summer is nice.
