Fall is Here

The wind, rain, and clouds have come. Now the nights are crisp and when the sun is shining, the days bright. Still my favorite time of year...seems a bit early though. This summer has been busier than I anticipated, but I also feel some relaxation. Getting some energy back.

Yesterday I went through my hours for work, making some nice progress graphs that update automatically. I set the goal to work 12 hours per week, and so far I have been averaging over 14. This means that I only need about 8.5 hours per week for the rest of the year. I will probably do more, as there are a few projects coming up, but it is a relief to know that I don't have to. I have been busy making sawdust bricks and updating the website, but this coming week I will start on something I am getting paid for...

The girls had a good week. Yesterday we went to the French Fair at the castle. Kind of fun. We had them drawn, but I don't really like how the drawing turned out. A bit too dark. Bumped into some new friends there (this was the third time this week). Nice to be in a small village where you cross paths with the same people.

A little anecdote from a walk into town where we saw something unusual:

Naomi: "What is that??"
Abigail: "A Police car!"
Naomi: (A bit surprised she knew) "Wow, that's right! And what do you think the Police are doing here??"
Abigail: "Nuthin'"

Nice try.

The event of the afternoon - baby spiders.

Fun at the French Fair

Congratulations, Kalia! Wish we could be there!
