Summer days

We are having a pleasant summer. The kids finished the local library's summer reading program and picked out their free books. We've been meeting friends at the park and playing in the water. It is too hot to do much baking, but we did try making pretzels. Nora and Henry did the shaping and applied the egg wash.
Tea with breakfast.Mark put up my new clothesline last week. It has more than twice the space of the old one, so I can fit two loads on it. And by the time I've washed a third load, the first is dry!
