Seeing some progress.... :o)

Monday morning while Mike was picking up the metal roofing and other needed lumber I started multi- tasking. Grated up 7 zucchini, mixed up a batch of zucchini bread and got it baking, sliced another batch for the dehydrator( see below)

Got laundry going

took pictures of how hot it was already at 11am. Yes, we're a Farmall family*wink*

Once Mike had the 1"x4" strapping in place, I began hauling sheets of metal roofing and helped, by holding and lining up the edges, while Mike got them screwed into place at the top. Then I helped from the ladder by screwing in the bottom edge.  I forgot to get pictures of the daylight through the inside of the roof. The shingles were so brittle and we knew it needed to be replaced but were hoping it would last until next summer. The hail a month or so back changed that quickly.

I stepped back to get a picture of our progress.... Looking good, don't you think?

Closer view, the grey picks up the lighter grey in our house roofing and matches my parents house too.

All finished, it took us two days, but we got a late start on Monday, waiting for Mike to bring materials home and then on Tues. had to take a break and meet Mike's sister, who was taking Cortney to visit Grandma Nita in ND. Can you see the moon just above the ridge line?

Finished and trimmed. We're even adding soffits! There will be a 3/4" bull nose trim added to soften the edge and give it a finished look. Then we'll prime and paint it green to match the house trim( which we're gradually converting from dark brown to forest green.  Now all that is left is to scrape, sand and pain the remaining trim, on the garage, to match and wait for next year to afford new siding for the whole garage(white to match the house)

I also took some pictures of the parsnip seeds we collected......

                                          and some calendula flowers, mini pumpkin seeds and fenugreek seed.
                    In between all of this I managed to water the garden. Yesterday we got the yard mowed and water put on it, then picked green beans, leaving the two bush beans for Friday's list.  Laundry only took until today(Thurs. ) to complete*wink*  Tomorrows plan is to pick bush beans, raspberries, water in the green house and wash sheets to hang on the line. We're still watering the yard and orchard and when moving water I noticed plums are ripening, so will concentrate on picking the ripe ones. It's a daily occurance that we harvest 6-9 zucchini a day and the cucumbers are approaching warp speed too. It appears that this summer everything will come on at one time! I'm just glad it's producing so well after our slow start and hail damage  :o)

Blessings for your day!
