Oh Summer

How I ended my summer is just how it started.

Popsicle, anyone?

My Sweetie took a picture of our roof one winter of 2007, the first time she experience ice storm in her entire life.

First Camping for Summer

I know, summer is almost over and we didn't go up Byron this year like we used to for the past 5 years. I was caught up in something around here doing some work and renovations here and there.

All camped-out.

Anyway, last weekend I finally brought my Sweetie camping but not in Byron. We just camped out at my friend's property in Newfield. My son B went with us but he got bored so I had to bring him to his Grammy's before supper.

Dinner on a hotplate.

It' was not really what we expect of camping but the fact the we can get out of the house and just hanged out with another friend and lazed around just drinking some beer and target shooting was relaxing enough.

My Sweetie practicing some target shooting. She did good for a first-timer.

Today... I'm back to work.

The Dirt Road

I miss this road. This is the road where I drove off to go down the river. This is the road where my Sweetie went for a run when I am down the river. And this is the road where my son picked wild berries.

Every summer, My Sweetie and I and something with my son would be up and down this road. Summer will be over soon and we have not been here yet.

My Blue Cake

My girls [My Sweetie and 2 daughters] threw me a birthday party last June. Well, my birthday month is actually May but they gave me the birthday party on June because we were all too busy with out work.

Anyway, my daughters did a good job with my blue fondant [they said it was fondant, though I really don't have any idea what fondant is] cake. As always, it was yummy and I love it.

Porch

Summer is almost over but here in Maine, we would do everything to prolong summer the best way we can. It may not be possible to do it literally but we can do it by doing what we love best until the snow finally falls on the ground.

One of the activities we love doing during summer is grilling. We love our cookouts. If we can have cookouts all-year-round we would do it. And there is no better way to have cookouts but at your porch.

Here are some photos of one of the porches that I've done.

If you want one like this...

Siding aside

Siding is one of my best works in carpentry. It is my favorite part of any construction project I am working on. Well, it's a no brainer. It's the easiest part of the whole building construction.

Here is one of the projects I am working on.

See the transformation?

It's finished!

Well, not really. I still have to put some trimmings here and there.

However, if you are thinking of new sidings for your home, don't hesitate to

Rain

Weather in Maine is always crazy. When the Meteorologist tells you that it will be a nice sunny day... bring an umbrella with you because it means it might rain. LOL

My Sweetie and her friends went for a hike a couple of weeks ago in New Hampshire. It rained and she took a nice photo of this cascading water on a rocky hills or was it a falls?
