3:37 pm - 63 degrees - mostly cloudy, light breeze...
The nights are getting colder,
the mornings are getting darker, and the rain is slowly returning.
Yesterday was a soggy, soaked
to the bone, wet reminder that Summer is almost over and Fall is nearly here.

As much as I love the lazy
summer months (although this summer was insanely busy and very short), I have
to admit that I am happy fall is here. Yes,
I enjoy all the Northwest rain, listening to it hit our metal roof (one of my
favorite sounds) while we’re inside all warm and cozy (not outside getting
soaked to the bone). I live for the
occasional thunderstorm and truly am a homebody at heart. I could curl up on the couch and watch movies
with my hubby and kids all day with the flames blazing in the fireplace. The crispness in the air, the brilliant
colors of the changing leaves, the fall scent outside, the spicy scent in the
kitchen from all the fall favorites being baked, I love it all!
However... in order for us to
have those warm, flames blazing in the fireplace, we need dry, seasoned firewood
and our woodshed is still in the planning stages. So Tony had to run out yesterday morning and try
to cover the majority of our firewood with plastic and tarps to help it stay
dry.
I cannot wait until Tony’s
woodshed is done! So far he has marked
out an area that is 24’ wide x 16’ deep.
Hopefully posts will be going in this coming week – that’s weather
dependant of course.
