The front entryway.

The city came in and sprayed for frogs and cat tails a couple of weeks ago.Next year we’ll be planting all along the creek so they can’t access it.

Don’t they know how great cat tails are for Fall decorating?.I can’t wait to look back on all these pictures in a few months when everything is so different and remember what it looked like during our first month here.. What do you do to mark the changing of the season?This is our barn.. Well, no.This is the barn across the creek from our house.

The 150 acre property with the barn was owned by the family that used to own our house for the last 180 years or so, or at least that’s what we hear.25 years-ish ago, they sold all but the 1.5 acres that we have around our house to a farmer.. Truthfully though, we never see a soul around that part of the property, so we cut the grassy area around it and use it for soccer games and golf practice.

Plus I’m pretty sure no one loves that barn like we do, so we call it ours!.

I like to walk down the side of the creek in the mornings.And this is how I’m getting there.. Don’t worry.

I did pull that weed after I saw it in this photo.. People have been checking up on our garden.They drive by and report back to Chris’ parents.

They’ve been saying nice things.I know they just can’t see all the weeds from the road, but it does make me feel encouraged..
