There are a couple of things I love about fall that I don’t often put into words. Instead, I tend to focus on the leaves, the crisp, sweater weather, the harvests and the upcoming holidays. But in between? While I will eventually hate the darkness that will envelop us from January through mid-March, until then,Continue reading “Soft lights and still mornings…”

My “what’s next?”
Yesterday, we nearly completed piers 7 and 8 for our new deck. We have 9 and 10 left to go next weekend. After that? Well, we can start framing. We eventually need to dig and pour a cement pad for the stairs, which my husband insists on placing piers underneath to avoid frost heave, butContinue reading “My “what’s next?””
