The day has come

It is Keith's first day as a house husband.

Raking the leaves, part I

Saturday we woke up and went right outside to do the leaves. Every eyar it is a challenge. The first year, we raked everything and then threw it over the lake wall into our composte pile. Problem: Too many leaves, and years of negelect from the previous home owners. The next year we bought leaf blowers at the flea market. They worked, but it took forever to get down. Last year we got a leaf mulcher in addition to the leaf blowers and it still took a long time. Mind you, our leaves take many days to do. This year, we started raking into pile, filling up trash cans (15 total so far), then driving over to Keith's parent's house, and dump the leaves in their woods. Having the pick up helps out. This is truely the most effective plan to date. We are still not finished. Peek at the last picture. Our maple is vibrantly red. Very beautiful.

Funny Keith moments

I was going thru my camera and came across some funny pictures.

The first is when Keith decided to cook us lunch. He made burgers on the grill. Then he decided we needed fried to go with the burgers. So he took his special pot that he bought just for the grill and grilled previously made french fries.


Towards the end of the summer we went to a BBQ. After sitting around a while, I got silly and found my husband to have beer muscles, literally.

Triva Answer

Sometimes I need to use dish soap to tone down my dye job. It just gets too bright. So I have grown accustomed to keeping a bottle in the linen closet. I had to wash my hair with the dish soap on Friday, when I was *sick* from work and then had to go to the dinner dance.

Trivia

Why would I have dish soap in my linen closet?


Any takers?

It's that time of year

We turned the heat on this past Monday. The overnight lows are too cold and the extra blanet just wasn't cutting it anymore. Keith does not want to be uncomfortable. Thank goodness he's not like my dad in that way. Also the leaves are strating to fall. Not too much color though. Starting today and the rest of the weekend we are having heavy rains. I really wanted to get a head start at raking but now we're not able to. So more will fall due to the rain and then we will have to rake them up when they are damp. Yuck.
