Indian Summer

Fall may have fallen, but summer's holding on! We've had some wonderfully warm days recently. Not hot, mind you, just pleasantly sunny.

We've been having company lately. A few weeks ago we hosted friends from Virginia who came to see us. This weekend my Mother arrives for a visit. It's great to have company. This is Fall Festival Season in Western New York, so there are different events in small WNY towns every weekend. It's apple season, as well, which adds to the fun. We cut our lawn this week, hopefully for the last time this year!

The dog has discovered that she can just jump over the baby gates we had blocking the entrances to the kitchen. Now we can't keep here there at night. We could lock her up on the laundry room (which has a proper door) but we're letting her roam free for the moment. It's been working fine, but she does come in and wake us up around six o'clock each morning. I take her out and feed her and she lets Kristen sleep for a few more hours before she wants to go for walkies.

We've started decorating the house for Halloween. We got some light-up bats and orange strings of lights. We'll take some pics. More soon!
