Too Hot to Garden

I've got the garden to a fairly good point- mulched and ready to grow. I couldn't imagine working out there this week. And.... the gnats are here. I mean- it's lovely! Really! Come visit!

Cooling Down

Well, I heard it might freeze in Illinois this week. We, on the other hand, are just beginning to enjoy our 6-7 months of fall. Winter never really comes to south Georgia.... and I'm ok with that. It's still fairly warm during the day- but last night there was a cool breeze on the back porch and someone in the neighborhood was burning something- ahhhh....the smell of fall. I even picked up some apple cider. So, when the harsh northern winter has got you down- just remember that you are always welcome to come and sit on our front porch. Direct flights from Bloomington to Atlanta!

More Changes

Things seem so drastically different every time we see the house! Shingles are done, siding is ordered, windows in, showers in, hmmm... I can't remember what else. Electric begins this week.
