Mid‑Summer Check‑In: Tackle That To‑Do List Before Fall Creeps In

You can feel it, can’t you? The hum of cicadas, the smell of fresh‑cut grass, and somewhere out there… that half‑built fence quietly judging you.
We’re not quite at summer’s halfway mark, but we’re close enough that the season’s starting to eye the exit—and your project list knows it.

🛠️ Don’t Let Summer Slip Through Your Calloused Fingers

Back in June you swore this was the year:

• You’d patch that fence so the dog quits sneaking over to sweet‑talk the neighbor’s retriever,

• You’d finally get that raised bed built so the tomatoes stop growing in the gravel,

• Or you’d at least clean out the shed so you can grab a hammer without a full‑blown archaeological dig.

If those plans are still parked on the back porch, good news: you’ve still got time. The true summer midpoint doesn’t land until early August, and that means there’s plenty of daylight left to make it happen.

🌻 Pettigrew’s Got Your Back (and Your Boards, Bolts, and Bug Spray)

Here at Pettigrew Feed & Hardware, we’ve got just about everything short of elbow grease in stock. Need it? We’ve probably got it:

• Fresh soil and mulch to perk up those flower beds,

• Fasteners, paint, and tools to tame those “someday” repairs,

• And friendly advice from folks who know the difference between a post level and a pop quiz.

🎯 A Few Quick Wins for a Mid‑Summer Boost

Sometimes you just need one good project to get rolling again. Try these:

• Slap a fresh coat of paint on that porch rail—it’s amazing what a brush can do.

• Install a couple of solar lights and watch your backyard turn magical.

• Sharpen those mower blades so the lawn stops looking like it was chewed by a goat.

• Build that compost bin you’ve been meaning to—your fall garden will thank you.

🍂 Finish Strong Before Fall Sneaks Up

We may not be quite at the halfway point, but fall’s already peeking around the corner, whispering, “Hope you finished that project…”
Let’s make sure you can answer with a confident, “Sure did.”

Swing by Pettigrew soon—grab what you need, swap a few stories with us, and head home ready to knock that list down a peg.
