Wait - What??

What do you mean 'summer is over' and 'You haven't posted since Independence Day' ?

Ack!
Double Ack!

So, yeah, sorry to admit, but summer kicked my (our) butt. Time flew by even faster than usual, a lot of stuff was crammed into eleven weeks of summer break, and the constant afternoon rains put a serious cramp into our house painting project.

Now, summer break is over and while summer itself is in its final death throes presenting us with a last barrage of blazing hot, muggy days, fall is right around the corner with hopefully drier days and beautifully cool(er) nights which always seem to invigorate our DIY spirit. Case in point, I actually have several projects going on right now, with first pictures taken, so semi-regular postings should resume soon at Chez Little Old House!

Yay!

So for today, I will leave you with a few impressions from our summer:

There was some beekeeping before it got too hot ...

Little Man turned double digits!

We went to Virginia Beach to hang with the family ...



Surfing the waves!


We spent lots of time on the porch, and so did the bees ...


We helped to "Make it Happen" and worked on mothballing Dancy Terrace in Springfield



Little Man turned into a Baseball-batting monster ...


We enjoyed new toys on vacation ...


and had many lunch dates ...


Little Man is excited about starting 4th Grade, and the new teacher, classroom, new friends and all those exciting things that come with it (and so are we)


And finally we went tubing to send summer off until next year ...


DIY-wise, not much happened because for the most part afternoons looked like this ...


...or this ...


... and you can't paint a house or build a fence in a mess like that. Meh!

How was your summer?
I hope you had a great time!
