Another Fall weekend day!

Today is a lovely overcast 60ish degree day. We started a fire in the hot tub this morning ~ It is currently 100-degrees and will be ready for a soak later today after we are done working in the yard. Steven and I relish the times we soak together and have commented on many an occasion that the hot tub was the best purchase we ever made! We especially enjoy it after a long work day during the week ~

Fall 2007

Well, it's that time of year again! With Fall, come leaves dropping everywhere. I raked the back part of the property yesterday. It feels good to accomplish that! We dropped a large pine tree a month ago. We needed to split the wood! We also had another bunch of wood from last Fall that had aged through the year. We split the rental cost of a wood splitter with our neighbor a few weekends ago; Steven split the majority of the wood and I received a lesson on how to work the splitter! Steven split while I wheelbarrowed the cut wood to our wood pile across the driveway. Steven's stamina is amazing! He just works and works! I actually stepped in and told him to take a break ~ He looked exhausted that day... We enjoy the process of preparing for winter ~ ...and the cozy warm fires are the greatest reward of all!
