Making Hay While the Sun Shines

It has been a gorgeous weekend...temperatures in the 60's and 70's and plenty of sunshine. We have had all the windows open and had the opportunity to accomplish a lot outside.

Mom and Dad worked on their house from early in the morning until dusk most days this week. They have 2/3 of the floor joists in, and have started to put the first floor decking on the first 1/3. This is a picture taken from on their first floor. You can see by the "tractor poop" in the distance, that one of the neighbors was out making hay this weekend as well.



Last year it was 70* in November as well. They were putting the finishing touches on our garage right around this time. It is fitting to remember that now, because JP was working hard in the garage this weekend, and now it looks like this:


So now, by my previous statement, we are all moved in! This does not, by any means, mean that we are finished up here. That is an entirely different subject, and I doubt we will be finished for years and years.

I managed to get some things planted and cleaned and organized this weekend, along with the standard laundry, meals and dishes. JP, Mom and myself even had the chance to take in a play at the college last night.

It is quiet right now. L and Kali are sleeping, and JP and J are out sitting in the newly erected tree stand down by the spring. They are scoping for deer, not hunting of course, since it is Sunday.

We are soon heading out for a sea food dinner in honor of my Mom's birthday (which is next week). I will close with a photo of a gorgeous sunset on Poplar Ridge from last week.
