I love fall

Fall is in the air. I love this time of year. When I leave for work in the morning, the sun is just rising, and it is so pretty. The air is crisp and has been in the low 50s in the evenings and mornings for the past couple weeks. Yesterday, I started pulling out my fall decor, which includes a scarecrow, a pumpkin wreath, and some more little pumpkins to put around my house.

The first six weeks is over tomorrow, which means we are officially 1/6 of the way through the school year. It doesn't sound like much, but I know the fall semester will fly by and we will be halfway through the year before I know it.

Football has started, of course. We have been to one home CHS game, and will go to another one tomorrow night.

And the cabin is almost finished. Shawn and Emma went up there this weekend and took some pictures, and we are this close (holding thumb and forefinger about 1/2 inch apart) from it being liveable. The inside plumbing is done, the wiring is done, inspections have been passed, the cabinets have been delivered though not installed, and drywall and insulation should have been delivered yesterday or today. The trench has been dug and pipe has been laid for connection to the well. I am guessing we have about 1-2 more weeks before everything is finished that needs to be done by another person. Maybe you're ready for me to be finished with giving every little detail of what's been going on with the cabin, and to let you know that it is finally finished! All in good time. And when I say that, I mean don't hold your breath, because we probably won't finish it until next spring. We aren't putting any flooring in it right now, anyway. Chad and I will go up there next weekend to take one more look at it before saying goodbye until next spring, when the snow melts and we can get to it again. Then it will be work, work, work...painting, moving furniture in, putting flooring in, etc.

So anyway, I love fall. The end.
