Hi everybody! Just a note to let you know I haven't disappeared, just had a busy life these days! I've been spending lots of time with my new boyfriend or as they call them on Anchorman, my "gentleman lover." Which cracks me up ever time I hear it, even if it is slightly inappropriate. I've also been in a frenzy to get my house ready for the winter. Just today I had the last cord of wood delivered, and Jonah has been coerced into coming over and helping stack it this evening with the promise of frozen pizza.
The rundown on what it takes to get my little place ready for winter:
Yard Cleanup: this has been started, the back is pretty ready, the front I have to wait until the last of the sunflowers are done blooming, and the tomatoes finally ripen. Hopefully the nice weather this week will make that happen!
Kindling: I borrowed a friend's chop saw and cut up any and all scrap lumber floating around my house. There was alot. Its all getting stacked under the trailer.
Canning and Brewing: I made up blackberry/raspberry jam out of berries from my house and Iris's place. Delicious. We made 15 gallons of homebrew in the last couple months, Jonah and I are going to make a batch in the next couple weeks with hops harvested from my plants! There they are below.
I painted my bedroom pink a couple weekends ago! Its a bright bubblegum/50's pink, and I love it. Pretty girly, but warm and comfortable, like the orange it had been before. I also found these great black velvet horse portrait paintings that now hang above my bed. Great stuff I tell you. Check that off the list, now I just need to paint the dinning nook a deeper, 50's sort of green...
Its pretty fun and crazypants around here with all this going on, and housemate and her daughter too! I love having them here, that kid is constant entertainment, and a constant challenge. I may have mentioned this before, but I seem to thrive on constant motion around me. And having them here means something is always going on!
Oh, seems my short note I was going to write turned into a full-fledged post! Happy Fall everybody! Hope you get your projects done before the cold sets in!
