Tomato seedlings ready for re-potting or planting

Another beautiful sunny day at Kenney Ridge. We walked around in the woods after breakfast with Cameron and admired the green buds on the apple trees in our orchard. We drove to pilates and had a good workout. Then we went to ALT, where Ray holed up in one of the offices and worked on his laptop, while I helped Mary O. (Katie's Mom) get ready for a home buyer education class. There were almost twice as many participants as she had expected. Is this a sign the economy is improving? I got them all registered and then got the refreshments ready. We left at 1:30.

Ray needed to mail something. We went by the mailbox at Add Drugs, but it didn't have an afternoon pickup listed on Saturdays.We decided to have lunch there, and Ray asked the employee where he should go to get his letter picked up. It turns out we were  in time for a pickup, if we brought it inside. They don't guarantee pickup at the box for some reason. I love eating at the Add Drug counter--cheeseburger, BLT, fries, Coke with vanilla flavoring for Ray--$7.

Painting the blue room

When we got home, it was bordering on too hot for me to work in the garden. I think the high was 84. But it was about 10 degrees cooler in the house and we painted the blue room. The color was exactly the same. In fact, it was hard to tell where we had painted and where we hadn't, except we made sure to paint over any marks. We are really pleased to have finally done that. It only took a few hours. Ray did all the edges and I made some big swipes in the middle with the roller. Needless to say, his job took a lot longer. We washed up and met Ron and Janna at Transmet for dinner, where we sat on the roof terrace as the sun went down, drinking wine and enjoying the evening.

I watched about one show when we got home and went to bed about 10:30, but still woke up about 5. The moon? The temperature? Oh well. Sore shoulders and back this morning, not surprisingly.
