New Addition

Andy has been hard at work on the bathroom and patio addition on the south end of the house, which will eventually be the New Mexico room. He and his building helpers have put up the studs for the walls, and are putting on the roof decking today. We had a little rain earlier in the week, which delayed their work for a couple of days, but the outlook is for nice weather for at least the next week. In fact, the temperatures have dropped in the last couple of days and it feels like fall. This morning it was barely 50 degrees and the high today will be 70 and sunny. There is a crisp feel in the air. The trees aren't changing colors yet, though. Everything in the yard is blooming right now and I can tell that next spring will be beautiful as plants in the garden fill in. I have started to thin out the daylilly beds and transplant those to other areas on the property. Andy has also been trimming more trees. Last weekend Andy and I laid out some mulch along a few paths that lead from the front yard down to the front meadow, where we plan on having a bonfire next weekend. We are excited to be having guests with us on the first two weekends in October.
