We needed to get some trees trimmed so
the oyster reef and newly planted grasses would get some much needed sunlight. While John was there we decided to remove 
some additional tress that were on out list including the two hollies by the front door.

The Making of 4 in a Row Game
Melissa, my daughter, sent me a suggestion for a game for the grandchildren for their visit this summer. The plans for the game came from HomeDepot. There were some challenges with the plans, namely the 
sideboards needed to be cut to 1-½ inches so the disks would fit in the outer slides. Using a 5-inch hole saw on an electric drill is near impossible, so I cut the out with a jigsaw only to learn that the actually disks need to be no larger than 4-¾ inches. Fortunately were were headed back to Richmond for the weekend so I deducted the size using a bandsaw and a home made 
circle jig.
The Garden begins to deliver
The garden is beginning to deliver crops, we have been eating Arugula, Egg Plant, Yellow Squash and zucchini, and tomatoes.
