Fall Mornings

It was a beautiful fall sunrise, complete with streaks of pinks, reds and oranges across the sky above the mountains. I love to lay in bed and look at God's perfect creation (and no Bill...not you, although,you are pretty close to perfect for me) as I gaze out the window each morning. What a blessing.

I finally got out of bed, and went out on the porch to take a few pictures. The camera just never does what the eye can do, and although both pictures were taken seconds apart, look at the difference that the camera picks up. Regardless, take my word, it was very pretty!

As you can see in the picture, we had a load of wood delivered, and Robert was a madman (and a blessing) as he got the entire pile of logs cut up and ready for splitting. Now we need to locate a splitter to borrow, or put the guys to work as a splitter is certainly not in the budget!

Bill & I spent all day yesterday at the rental. We put molding in the laundry room, and fixed a few things inside, as tenants were moving in yesterday. We then headed outside to fix the big mess of termite, carpenter ant and water damage that we found in a corner. I repaired and replaced one side of the corner last weekend, and Bill & I worked on the other corner and managed to get it painted, molding up, and it looks great! We now only have 1/3 of the trim left on the house to do, and a few wood repairs and we are finished with the exception of those wonderful overhangs and doors. However, Alice is leaning toward awnings....so praying that she will allow us to do that.

Work is going well for me...loving what I do sure helps. Having great co-workers, and a great team effort is the other part. The kids are doing well with school,and adjusting to doing their math online through the school district. It's a great help to me! Bill is doing well in school...he's had nothing by good grades, and done well so far...hooray for Bill!

We ask that you keep us in prayer as we struggle to put together our work, school, home and rental schedules....pray that we get a good balance, and still have fun while accomplishing all those things we need to!
