A lovely Iris from our garden

The garden is blooming and looks lovely. Some of the flowers have a short blooming period, but are nevertheless quite stunning.

My sister is at the beginning of a major renovation of her home. Yesterday I helped my brother in law with a bunch of the heavy lifting. The biggest beast was a treadmill. Good lord that was horrible to move, unlike her 20lb carbon fiber bikes. Most of the afternoon was spent ripping down drywall and carting it the bin. A messy and tiring process for sure.

Getting the basement ready to reno!

It was good to help my BiL out. He has certainly helped us out numerous times over the years so it was an easy decision to give him a hand. They also did a nice reno of their backyard, adding a large patio. I was invited out to dinner, but tired and sweaty, I just wanted to get home. I hope their reno stays on schedule and budget!

So much rain this week. Ugh.
