Luckily for me, Tom drove his car so I rode shotgun and could watch the scenery more than he could.<\/p>\n<p>We got home at midnight and I was sure glad to climb into my own bed and snuggle up to my sleeping husband, Will. Our cat, Mittens, soon hopped up onto my legs and purred in my ear. Yep, I was home!<\/p>\n<p>This morning it was raining off and on so I toured our gardens, which we&#8217;d hurried to get planted before I left. Lookin&#8217; good! The corn&#8217;s coming on very nicely and evenly, as is everything else. Hot weather, coupled with nice rains made everything pop up. I couldn&#8217;t believe how much things had grown in just four days. I&#8217;ve got peonies and roses blooming as well as lupines starting. Very pretty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/06\/19\/we-had-a-good-time-at-the-mrea-fair\/rose_1802\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5971\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rose_1802-300x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"256\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5971\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/06\/19\/we-had-a-good-time-at-the-mrea-fair\/peony_1797\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5972\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Peony_1797-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5972\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While I was gone, David and Will got the sheet metal roof on the duck house so no more puddles in the house from a leaking tarp.<\/p>\n<p>And Will got the peppers planted in the hoop house that I didn&#8217;t get around to.
