A Week That Was

It's been a Sisyphean week. The barn moves along at its own pace - now it has footings and a frost wall. Next week, the hole will get filled in with sand, etc., and then covered with a new concrete pad for the floor of the barn.
At the same time, the engine on the boat decided to give me grief through a mis-communication with the guy in the Shipyard who was commissioning her. But after being terrified that I would have to buy and install a new motor in her, at some incredible cost, the Yard fixed it, and she's running smooth as a top now.
Additionally, this was the week to put together all the stuff, 21 items, for the Historical Society Silent Auction on Fisherman's Island. The stuff is all ready except for one pot and a baby basket, but it was my job to put together all the info and the bid sheets, etc.
But now it's all done and tonight cousins came over with their little grandson and his mother for pizza from the General Store, and fresh salad from the garden. Life doesn't get much better than that. Tomorrow promises to be gorgeous and hot - for the first time. Perhaps I'll check on the garden, then go out on the boat!
aaahhh, East Boothbay life!
