Finished our DIY together era

Unfortunately I accidentally hurt my right thumb and wrist by using a big brush painting primer on our deck.  In spite of icing and taping, the pain is left in the bottom of my right thumb.
Luckily my husband recovered from his wrist swollen with pain within two days, and he started painting again all by himself, but he was careful, so he worked little by little.  Now he finished 2/3 of real paint painting job.

Meanwhile I tried cooking, gardening, and vaccuming.  Every domestic job hurt me, but I got more careful and took more rest between chores.  Luckily we managed to ride bicycles together even on the hottest day.

Finally the nasty heat wave seems to have passed away.

Yesterday, today, we have worked ...

Deck rails, boards and pergola posts....  We decided to fix and paint by DIY again.  That was under estimated.  We lost at least 1/3 or even half energy of the energy we had three years ago.

It was hot.  sweat, sweat, sweat....

I was going to ride yesterday and made a plan, but when I saw our deck rails I changed my mind.  

Chore is not fun, but at least I can get peace in my mind when we finish.

We should do minimum job, the most necessary thing only....

I missed riding very much today.

I got one idea to keep us riding.

I thought two things together might work to enhance my excitement.  Choose a place to ride towards, and take some pictures for my future paintings.
We haven't ridden local places so much, this might be a good time to do that.  
Or maybe in Fall this year.

When the weather is hot, I might want to go to the beach or ocean, or lake. 

Anyway I just want to take off too much tension to ride more distance or hours.  I just want to ride a little,  paint some, and play music.

We haven't worked in our garden for a while, the weeds popped up everywhere and roses got looking ugly so that we had to work quite a bit today.  My right knee hurts and my back too. 😞 But our work got a good result, so I should be happy, yes, I am.😉

Our Statice over grew, so I cut.  I wonder if anybody wants it?
