James and Strawberries

 

I was up before six again today to water as over a hundred was forecast for today and it was already seventy when I got up.  As I came out the door a little after six the sun was starting to hit the driveway.  After watering I started clipping some of the grass around the shop.  Vera came out a few minutes later to pick blueberries so I stopped and helped her do that.  We didn't get as many as yesterday so we will wait two days and see what we get then.

When I took some weeds to the compost pile I thought this angle would make a nice picture of the house with the trees highlighted by the sunrise.

James came up this afternoon and brought us birthday and Father's Day cards.  Michelle had sent along strawberries she had gotten from a farm in Rainier.  We had a nice visit with James and heard all about his new job.  James wanted to visit Dianne so I went with him.  They were happy to see him and my cheeks hurt from laughing at some of the stories that were told.  After James left we had dinner and the strawberries over ice cream for dessert.  Boy was that good!  This evening I got the Corsair loaded into the motor home and did some rearranging of the planes I had in there.  All of our thermometers were reading over one hundred this afternoon.  The two in the shade were reading 103° and 104° so I am pretty sure that is pretty close to what it was.  I finished off the strawberries with some ice cream tonight, a nice end to a good day.
