I was getting bored with the look of my blog, so I found this really neat website with lots of free blogger templates. And believe me, if I figured out how to make this change, anybody can do it!
The weather has been slowly cooling, but not enough to actually start burning the costly gas furnace yet! We though last year's heating bills were ridiculous, I don't even want to imagine what this winter is going to cost us. I'm torn. I want an unseasonably warm winter so we can afford to keep the house reasonably comfortable, and yet I want my boys to have some snow to play in. Last winter was a failure in the snow department.
But Autumn has only just begun, so I must focus on the now instead of the future. We are in the midst of hunting season--archery for buck and doe, shotgun for grouse, etc. (It actually could be rifle for grouse and not shotgun. Apparently there's a difference. Who knew?!!) Anyway, between overtime at work for my hubby, some minor house renovations, and hunting season, it's been a little crazy around our house. Oh, and I hurt my back again, so I can't even help my man out with painting. Very frustrating!
I'm not letting the frustration overtake my excitement for fall, though! I love this time of year! Some of our trees are just starting to change their leaf color and the air has that crisp coolness to it. I love being able to put on my fuzzy socks and settle in under a fleece throw with a good book and a cup of coffee. Or hot apple cider or hot chocolate! Tea would be ok, too. Pretty much any steaming beverage. :)
So, I will probably post some pictures of our renovations when they are completed. But I'm not even going to venture a guess on when that will be. Meanwhile I will be nursing my sore back trying not to feel too guilty about how hard my hubby is having to work these days.
