Summer Update

As you know, it has been a while since we did a post. We've been busy with the remodel of the basement this summer. I can't wait for it to be done! Chris has worked hard on his garden. There was an infestation of ear wigs, but he got them under control. We've been eating chard and lettuce so far, which was very good. The carrots and tomatoes will be ready soon! We had a scare with Maddie when we got home from Memphis. We picked her up from the vet and she seemed fine, but was acting strange in the evening. The next day we discovered that she had bloat and we almost lost her. She is a fighter and pulled through after emergency surgery! We also had a wildfire scare earlier this month. Bear Peak caught fire. It covered our house in smoke and was raining ash when it first started. Luckily, they had a Type I team on standby and Mother Nature was cooperative. I am glad the fire is contained and we've been having so much rain this past week!
