As It Is

Kaitlynn once again proved herself to be a capable driver and got herself home safely this afternoon. She even arrived earlier than expected which was very nice. Maybe I'll get used to this yet.

I was, for the most part, feeling better today, and got a sudden need to put the garage back in order. So, after having gotten rid of most of the gourds that were crowding the garage floor, I did a little decorating on the deck and just hauled the rest to the compost. All the jacks are sitting in front of the house ready to soak up a bit of sun, and the greenhouse is full. Not a lot is orange yet, so no major Halloween decor yet, but I am feeling the need to create a more convincing witch's apothecary this year.

The orchid Todd got me is blooming beautifully, and I'm so happy with myself for having gotten it this far. As soon as it starts to fade, I have to figure out how to repot it.

Bear is very much enjoying the cooler weather and keeps digging holes in front of the house. I look forward to the ground freezing so I no longer have to rake them in.
