4th of July

Our friends Linda and Mark Grennan stayed at the Retreat on Wednesday night.  After breakfast, Andy worked on the Oven during the  morning, while I worked in the front gardens.  There are always weeds and grass and four o'clocks to pull up.  I also harvested basil from the garden to make a batch of pesto.   It was a lovely day, not too hot or humid. Patrick Espy came by for a visit -- we hadn't seen him in quite a while.  After work we sat under the umbrella on the patio and enjoyed a cold beer while a slab of ribs cooked in the house oven.
