Windows and doors are going in this week! Soon we will be dried in!

I haven't seen any turkey for several weeks. I'm concerned that all the coyotes we have are hurting the turkey population. Hopefully the they are just steering clear of our valley because of the constrution.

The hubby and I laid out both Saturday and Sunday nights (Saturday with a friend and Sunday by ourselves) and watched the meteor shower. It was AWESOME weather and a great show! I love living in the country.

Life is good.

The weather is finally starting to feel like Fall! It's my favorite time of the year. I love the brisk, damp mornings spent sitting in the tree stand waiting for turkey or deer to come by.

The house is taking shape. You can start to see what's been in my head for the past three years. It's exciting to design a space and see it become reality. The SIPS (structurally insulated panels)go on the roof tomorrow so we will be close to being dried in! Also, the bridge is done!

This past week the dump truck doing the back-filling behind the house broke one of
the water lines. I dug it up with the backhoe and repaired it myself (yea me! It's the first time I've used the backhoe).

The guineas are settling in and starting to lay eggs. They now only make their tremendous racket when they see a new car, person, dog, or anything out-of-the-ordinary (as opposed to every five minutes).

We finally got a shed for the horses. Now I won't worry about my 30 year old mare, Secret, being out in the weather so much.

Peace
