Ken finished up the summer coop for the laying chickens.   He cut the window and screened it in and covered the venting under the overhang.  I had painted the old coup the other day touching it up, and then painted the summer coop. 

It was pretty hot yesterday, but I managed to get all 12 rows of tomatoes strung.  I went out last night and had to use the sprayer to water everything.  I had put barrels under the overhang of the house to catch water last time it rained and now I have about 25 gallons to use until the next rain.  They aren't calling for that for another three or four days.

I managed to lay the other rough cut wood out on the back porch and nail it in.  It was starting to get warped.   The rain really hurt the berries.   I went out and weeded them a little yesterday and picked only 4!

This morning I made a cheesey potato casserole to take to a funeral dinner at church.  I'm going to come home and probably work some more out in the yard despite having a terrible bout with poison ivy!  It really looks like prickly heat rash but itches just awful.  I wish the jewel weed was blooming so I could soothe the itch with that.
