I woke up several times during the night to the sounds of rain. I suppose since it was such an unusual sound it kept waking me, it was nice though.
I hope that this means that the high pressure zone that has been sitting on top of us for months is weakening.. I can hope. I am so ready for fall weather and football and tail gate foods and being able to go outside and work.

Emily and I got out Halloween costumes last night and talked about what we would be this year. I tried on her witch costume and she decided that is what I should be. Can't really think of anything more appropriate :) just wish I wasn't so fat. I've forgotten what it feels like to put on clothes and look good in them or to have any kind of figure and forget ever looking sexy again... being old sucks.

Remember months and months ago when we cut down the dead mimosa tree in the front yard and I could never decide what to do in that space? I finally decided.

Okay, as you walk up to the house there is a small little graveled walkway lined with two long wooden poles laying on the ground as borders.. to the right of the walk way is my water feature to the left is the (still) empty space. Further out to the right I have almost completed a brick walk that goes to the fire pit. (so far we have water and fire, right) At each end of the walkway I am going to build an arch (wooden poles with a cross piece over the top) I am going to hang wind chimes of all sorts on the arches (wind or air) Okay, back to the (still) empty space on the left side ... A GREENHOUSE. Mark has agreed to help me since I couldn't do this one alone. It will be attached to the west side of our house and will represent earth.

Cool, huh?

I still have a lot of work to do, can't wait for some decent weather so I can get busy!!

So, what new project are you working on?
