- The metal roof is a very dark green and matches the greenhouse portion of the house and the garage. We are now color coordinated again
- I absolutely adore the sound of rain on a metal roof. I've even been known to go to the loft to work when it is raining just so I could hear it on the roof!
- Travis does NOT have a tattoo. The spot on his arm is the wind chime hanging there.
- The neighbor came and got her horse back. Our fences are not adequate for horses, having been designed for sheep. Unfortunately, obviously hers aren't either.
- She said the other horse was shot (don't know where she found it back). Deer hunters? Disgruntled neighbor? I guess we'll never know.
- The mums are definitely dead. Wish I could tell you I gave them a proper burial, but.. .
- Travis did not conquer the leaves. That is not possible!
- Bailey is too lazy to attack. Kind of like me.
- The roofers are back today. Since they didn't fall off last week, I trust they won't today. It is much less windy.
- Whiskey is like the energizer Chihuahua - never wears out
- I love where we live. It is our own little oasis.
What I loved this week:
- Discovering when I kissed Austin on the cheek and he swiped at the spot, that he was not wiping my kiss off, but rather rubbing it in
- Grandparents day at Allen's school. We (the two Grandma's) decorated a turkey with him. He seems to have a great teacher and was all smiles and hugs.
- A sweaty hug from Travis after his first wrestling skirmish of the year.
- The fact that Jim noticed I had my hair colored this week
- Sitting on the front porch with Jim late at night, swaddled in a blanket, talking and listening to the wind howl
- Dakota wanting to spend the weekend with us while his mom and dad were out of town - even if he did have the motive of wanting to go to a birthday party
- Getting a rush embroidery job done ahead of schedule
- Visiting with a friend who has been very sick
- Making the difficult decision with our friends that we are no longer going to continue our annual Christmas open house (a ten year run) - and sending out a Christmas card telling everyone so.
- Learning that Uncle Cy is in town and I will get to see him, and many other family who I don't get to see very often, next week.
- Reading Susan Vreeland's book Clara and Mr. Tiffany (awesome book!)
- Working on my scrapbooks and card making
