I went from never updating my blog to updating too much. I blame it on the camera. And the nice weather which has made me not-miserable.

Today Chris took a vacation day so he could gear up for a nasty week of fundraisers and get some house stuff done. We've been saying that the back patio needs a coat of paint for 2 years now, and it hasn't happened. On his way home from a talk-radio appearance (is there no eye-roll icon on blogger?), Chris stopped and got the color card for patio paint. He wanted "iced coffee" and I wanted "iced mocha". I won, since "iced coffee" should have been called "feces".

So lovely day #3- backyard homeschooling, painting, quick jaunt to Savers, trip to local hardware store, planting flowers, and Chinese food with Grandma and Grandpa.

I know it's early, but I couldn't resist.

Are those mums? Are you ready for fall already? Dude. One more fall of exile in no-season land.

They ARE mums. I love the way mums smell, and I intend to sniff them every time I come home.

Fall of '10. You and I. Apple picking. Corn maze. Cider. Pumpkin Patch.
