But, with the fall comes other wonderful things. Yellow leaves on my green ash tree, a garden FULL of pumpkins and gourds, and my coco-motion taking it's perma spot on my kitchen counter.
A lot has been happening here in the Burg. Dan is back in school, graduation in April! Can I get a couple WOOT WOOTS from ya'll at home?
I know you thought about doing it, and those of you who did do it, I high 5 you. He's doing great. He is enjoying the new material in class and playing on a intramural soccer team. Undefeated so far! It's fun watching him play keeper, he's not afraid to jump and dive for stuff. He even runs up and grabs the ball from the other team, it's awesome. His nickname on the team is BearClaw, nothing gets past him people, nothing. Pics to come soon. . .
We also have moved into the basement here at the Maple house, it's different from the upstairs but we have made it our own. I do really miss all the cupboard space up there, especially the three drawers I had for my tupperware. I know, it's ridiculous to have three drawers just for tupperware. Let me just say, it was FABULOUS. Now it looks like this:
Lids, containers and randoms all together. I've already had a few of those moments where I was murmuring quite intensely under my breath about the situation.
"Where is that dang lid that goes to this dang container?"
"Hey! I have been looking for that forever!"
"If I have to move this one more time. . ."
"FORGET IT! I'll just use a zip lock bag! So much for going green."
Very troublesome indeed.
Summer literally stayed until last week. We had 80 degree weather the whole month of September. If you know this region of the globe at all, you understand that normally around this time of year there are 3 inches of snow on the ground. Not only are the pumpkins perfectly orange, but we are still getting tomatoes, check it out. . .
I hope your fall has started off as good as mine!
