Yes, there really is leisure time!

Hello family:

Tim and I are actually doing non work things these days.  Tim seeded the front yard and lo and behold we have a good stand of grass.  I think we have given up on the back yard.  It has gone to the dogs.  Although, Tim is still planning to repurpose the Johnston (thank you) deck wood for a small deck out back.  He has been working on his church treasurers job which creates many frown lines as well as Sunday School class and a local Mental Health task force committee.

With the new job, I have evenings and weekends free.  I have rediscovered my enjoyment with house plants.  One of my favorites is “Audrey”.  She is a large aloe vera that was given to me.  When she first arrived I found her rather creepy, hence the name Audrey from little shop of horrors.  Since then I have discovered that she is really rather sensitive and sunburns.  She moved outside for just a bit this summer but had to return inside.  As you can see she is thriving and producing more little Audreys. 

I hope they don’t take over.  Here’s a couple more pictures of my plants.  Now if they can just survive the winter.  I have considered giving them all names but we shall see… The next kind I want to try is a split leave philodendron.

I’ve also been working on the house.  One large project is cleaning up the “lego” room.  Good heavens there was lots of stuff in there and many giant dust bunnies.  It’s not done yet but progress is being made.

 

This weekend we did the annual Givan Fall Festival.  Tim, Kate, Tyson, Gus and I went to Polk’s and picked out some pumpkins.  Then we followed  it up with some yummy chili made by Tim.

Happy Fall you all!
