Fall is in the Air


Well, summer is winding down. This summer has been one-of-a-kind, with Silas being here full time for the first time in years and years. My garden is flailing, but my membership subscription to my local farm is going strong. I need to set a goal around making compost and building my soil better for next year.

My creative projects are growing. I found some sinks on craigslist to replace our old ones in the bathrooms, and I am totally looking forward to swapping those out tomorrow. I am beginning to make Christmas gifts, starting with some sewing and crochet ventures. My health goals continue to be on my priority list, including training for next year's STP and taking off a few more pounds. The surface of our small deck is refinished, and before November I am hoping to restain the rails as well. My walking partners are steady and true, so my mornings have an early, energetic start.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. The fresh crispness in the air and the feeling of a brand new start are always encouraging to me. So forward I go into the new season.
