every step is one step closer to finishing

.wrapping up small projects.

having this extended spell of beautiful fall weather, i tried to 'grab the bull by the horns'  and start finishing the many small projects.  they seem to multiply, then scatter to all  corners of our property...  today i can say that there is only one handful of small projects on the go in the backyard as of now. {and the completion dates are set for the one handful left}

with me busy doing my mental list of things, was too busy to notice ed finished the retaining wall around the cedar.   after a good paint job and the pathway finished running alongside, this area will be finished!

15 more days until halloween, my pumpkin better get changing :)

turkey~day football

thanksgiving day football

monday after feasting thanksgiving weekend, found ourselves enjoying some ol' pigskin.  was  extra fun as our cousin, Cole, was playing during the intermission.  was an beautiful evening with exceptional october weather, and the football was not bad.  with over 25,000 fans packed in to watch the blue bombers in the stadium, the cheering was loud to say the least.  the bombers did not disappoint, winning final score: BC 35  MB 47 :)

next few photos are of the intermission game {Cole is #6}

first time i saw a 'group fight' break out at a football game  :0

cheers!

friday the 13th

and the weekend begins

happy friday! as i sit here typing i can't help but smile one the day i had, thus far.. 

1.  woke to screams coming from the basement.  being asleep, i was not sure exactly what the words were, as to the tone that they were coming in.  as i jumped out of bed, the words became clear, ' the water is gushing in'..  run downstairs to see a fountain of water gushing up 2 feet in the air, about an inch when we got there, and gushing...

2.  having the hubby volunteer to stay home and get the water situation under control, i went off to work. {somewhat thinking that it may be a optional day, on account of the storm} of course once i got to work, the: monsoon rain stops, clouds open up, sun beams through the storm clouds, and the humidity starts making everything sticky.  had to chuckle with loralee, how this always happens: especially when you are wanting it to rain.  :)

3.  a surprise lunch date, courtesy of my husband.  nothing like a&w on the tailgate of hanky!  farley got to meet some new friends, as he found a hole in the fence...

cannot say that this friday the 13th has been all bad, not that i am superstitious. 

i've included  a couple of photos of farley today.  he was sad because it is pouring out so we only took him for a short walk, with promises of a longer one later. 

enjoy :)

cool summer evenings...

relief from the humidity

yes, ed & i are both wearing sweaters.   no, not because we were cold, the mosquitoes were crazy !!!

last night enjoyed nightly walk-a-bout without the crazy humidity.  never looked forward to the rain soo much, aaron actually took me out for a celebratory meal. 

       {we sat on the patio, watching the rain pour; nothing like 'poor mans' air conditioning :) }

enjoy the photos of the evening walk :)

August Long Weekend '10

rushing river

what an adventure that weekend was, of course in a good way. {chris may think differently, although he was a sport...} 

started out with a couple detours, wild blueberries everywhere you looked, a near drowning, a few storms and severe watches, amazing food, great company, sunny afternoons, couple of farley/meatloaf escapee run,  world domination {risk}, amazingly clear water and a bit of fishing...  weekend in a nutshell





enjoy  :)
