It is technically fall, but the weather is more like late summer. Trees are just starting to turn. The nights and mornings are cool. We don't have to run the airconditioning. I took the dogs for a hike in the woods today. They love it. I love it. Although I did have to give Sophie a bath when we returned. She was a mess. I took a picture of the old chicken coop out in the woods behind the house. That's what our house will look like in a few years, I'm sure. But at least it has a toilet.
Life is just grinding along same as always. Eat, sleep, work. This is probably pretty much how things will be until I retire--which I HOPE will be in the next year or two.
