Fall

With an unlimited supply of wood, 
we have some big fires!

Autumn is in full swing here.  The trees are mesmerizing and the cooler temps are perfect for sitting by the fire.  We don't have an inside wood burner yet,  but most weekends in September and October, we were able to use the new fire pit.  We have also been able to do some entertaining.  Friends have been over to share in the glow of the fire pit or the occasional fire works display.  We even had our realtor out who helped us buy the property.  She said she would never believe it was the same property had it not been for the one pile of cylinders we saved. LOL



We "decorated" the pit with some
of the cooler rocks from the yard.


September was a big month for us.  We finally got cable TV and unlimited internet!  What a relief as we were on metered internet and the internet bill was more than all of our other bills combined.  Getting cable and internet was a big day of celebration for us.


The biggest news for October is the event of our first mowing of the new grass.  The place looks so much more finished with grass.  We ended up using almost 300 pounds of Kentucky Blue seed.  We watered for 3 weeks before we got some much needed rain,  but once the rains came the grass really took off.

Grass!

 I have published these photos below before,  but I think they are worth posting again.  This is a tree we rescued from vines.  It looks so nice now.  I am glad I didn't let Chris have his way and cut it down!

Three years later.

Chris has finished up all the trim in the house. The to do list is dwindling down to nothing.  We had our new property plat created and the surveyors were shocked at the changes since their first adventure here. We hope to apply for occupancy before Thanksgiving.  It would be exactly 4 years since we bought the property on Thanksgiving of 2009.
