The first heavy frost came last week, this week the first snow flurries and frigid temps. We’ve finished up the last few projects outdoors. Brandon and I (mainly Brandon) worked on laying this stone walkway from our driveway to the back porch over the course of three weeks. Sometimes it’s silly how long it takes us to get things done, but its not for lack of trying. It’s just life in this season with a lot to juggle and a lot of interruptions. We really love the finished product! It’s always exciting to make improvements (though ever so slowly for us) to our little home.
I trimmed back bushes last week and raked up as many leaves as I could one morning then spread it over the garden. The children have been enjoying any sunny warm weather they can, though those days may be behind us now. How quickly these warm fall days give way to frost and bleak, barren limb.
Also, Phoebe has been singing weekly with a choir called Viva Voce and lately they’ve had a couple of performances. These photos were from her first performance in a church nearby. I can’t tell you how proud I am to hear her sing, and she loves it so. Our mornings are full with school work, our afternoons are mostly full now with activities and I am running around ferrying children to and fro. It is good, busy, and I’m a bit looking forward to a long break from school work in December.
