Moving on
August is half over, already! I noticed the other day that the leaves on the maples are already beginning to turn, a bright red and orange color. I think then of the 7 cords of wood we have coming and have to stack...and sigh...
But, I am also very grateful to have that method of heating our home this winter as the winters here can be brutal and with the cost of oil these days, well...
Summer has winded down quite nicely actually. We spent a week out to camp and it rained and rained and rained some more, but hubby and I did get to enjoy an evening out on the lake in his old row boat and the kids did more camping and then spent the weekend at another campground in NH with family members. I would dare say those two are CAMPED right out this summer, but they sure did have a good time. These are the memories I wish for them to cherish, always!
Now I am planning a short get away with the oldest who is soon to be 16 in one short week! We want to go shopping out of town and then stay over night somewhere and relax and hopefull "enjoy" each others company!
The younger one will stay home and help out Dad with the continuing construction of our new garage. It's HUGE!
Otherwise, I guess autumn is nearly upon us with school soon to start again and another summer gone.

August Time
So the month of August is suddenly upon us and I ask,where has our summer gone? July was wet wet wet! It rained a lot and August isn't looking too promising for sunny weather either!
Elton John ROCKED, btw!!! We had an EXCELLENT time and I am SO glad I went. He gave a GREAT performance, one I will not soon forget. All his hits and more!
Our shed is coming along, finally...The framing is going up and hubby is hard at work this weekend working on the upstairs part where I will finally have some storage space! WOOHOO! It's been a LONG time coming! Our old shed was just that...old and sinking into the ground and caving in! We now have a nice cement slab and three bay entrances for our cars and other stuff plus a place to work on things. So I am very excited to get this done. Hubby has done most of it himself with some help from a few friends and neighbors.
Otherwise, things are ok. We head out to camp tomorrow afternoon for a week and hopefully the weather won't be too bad and I plan to loaf, enjoy the water, catch up on some reading and movies!
