Funny how a month can seem to pretty much fly by without hardly any notice. I didn't post at all during September, and now, here it is, Ocotber 4th! And I don't really know what I did all month to have it start and end so quickly. It started out fairly warm and sunny, and last week was about the same, sunny and in the 70's.

So, let me see if I can think back to September and remember what might have taken place.  We've had some construction done on the house because of water leaking into our garage. Not that it really occupied much of my time, but it has impacted some of the things around the house. The windows arrived today and should be put in soon, and that will be really nice. We will have a new 3-season room where our screened in patio was. Right now, the openings for the windows are just papered over, making it rather dark in the front of the house. And we ordered the floor covering today. It will be great once its all done. Here is what it looked like about 2 weeks ago:

This is what it looks like from the inside.

This is what it looks like from the outside.

I am hoping the house doesn't look too different from the outside because I have ordered Christmas cards that use a photo from last winter. Oh, well, not many people actually know what our house looks like anyway!

About the only other thing significant about last month is that I did have a manager's meeting over in Manchester, New Hampshire last week. The meeting was.............okay............but I did stay at my sister's house which is always fun. The meeting went from 8:30am until 6pm on Thursday, so I didn't want' to drive all the way back home that night, so I stayed until Friday about noon. I got to see my niece and her son who are visiting from Singapore. It was good to see them.

And now, the days are quickly loosing their hours of sunlight, I am using my headlights driving home from work, the trees are starting to show off their autumn finery, and we could see the first flakes of white stuff in the coming weeks (our low tomorrow night is 32!) But, for now, I will try to slow down some and enjoy the October days.
