Good morning, Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteWe're in the midst of a beautiful day in the Black Hills. The neighbors across the way have a big tent set up and folks are scurrying around in good clothes (I'm thinking a wedding reception at our very-local B&B,) another neighbor is working on building his new house, and the highway past our place is full of tourists heading up into the Hills. Another July day!
Have a great weekend!
