Please don't drive out here to buy a loaf of bread. Jeff sells everything at the Madison Farmer's Market each Saturday.

Beautiful area about 45 minutes from Madison

The only relief from the heat-cool juicy watermelon!

State Street, Madison, Wisconsin

We did our regular routine in Madison-Bagels Forever, Babcock Hall Ice Cream, Greek Gyros, State Street with views of the Capitol. It was very hot and humid. We had rain storms all the way and tornado warnings on the way home.
The air conditioner went out, but we were able to revive it and then it finally quit. I took it in to Broadway today and got the blower switch unit replaced. Now we have defrost, fan, and air-conditioning. Whew!

Wish I could have jumped in the water!

A hot and muggy day in Madison. Relaxing on Monona Terrace.

Georgia peaches from Ohio!

They are all gone! They were juicy, running down to your elbow-juicy! Thanks Jesse and Eric!

Sunny Picture Update

The rain pouring off the porch roof

Peter made ditches for the rain to flow through down to the sidewalk and down the street. It keeps the water from our house out of our neighbor's backyard!

Rainstorm number 766 I think!

And the wind is a blowin'

"Oh let the rain come down...

Looking out the screen porch to the North

It's pouring!

Down the peak and to the rain barrel

The screen porch table

A little sanding, some primer, some exterior weatherbeater high gloss white paint and a great table for the porch!
