So when he's bustling around and doing 101 projects I feel pretty guilty reading the internet! As the summer progressed we were outside more and more and projects too numerous to mention.<br />I am enjoying your house process. It does sound mighty hot there and buggy! And yes we have so many before and after pictures... if I only took the time to store them on my computer and post them. I need to do that on the kitchen though.. it will look mighty different. Stay cool and hope our breezes here will head south.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430084640185906974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-72724998671011011822009-09-01T06:54:58.016-04:002009-09-01T06:54:58.016-04:00E, there's a standing, open invitation with yo...E, there's a standing, open invitation with your name on it.

Life in the real world does take time from the life at blog land :-) <br /><br />I have now upgraded to a lawn mower with engine to have time to do other things in life too. It took to long time to mowe the lawn with the old one without engine. Especially if the grass was weat.<br /><br />But I still feel that there is to little time. Well winter here will soon change that I think :-)<br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-83411334737981293492009-08-28T22:59:00.355-04:002009-08-28T22:59:00.355-04:00You're doing cool things and making changes in...You're doing cool things and making changes in your land and in your lives.

Here I am talking as if it's in the way. <br /><br />Dark mornings and early evenings already in the UK? You'd go nuts here. It's still high summer in North Carolina, no two ways about it.

As the winter starts (I am backing to leaving for work in the dark as of this week And I even came home in the dark after a particularly long day yesterday) Then I wil lretrn to the computer and post more to my blog and comment more freely on others.

And this part of this transition is labor intensive, so it seems to me, a natural progression of "blog silence" with brief commentaries and waiting for the Days of Reflection which will follow.<br /><br />Season's move so fast and it seems you have your work cut out for you - only how long before the leaves fall and lawn work closes its chapter for this year.<br /><br />And most importantly, in many ways, this is your time with Steve as well as his time with you.

Just write when you can without guilt and know that when you do, I'll be ready to read. This is just a stage - and it sounds like a fun one for you! (Plus - all that great exercise and outdoors! So good for you.)I will try to check on your weekly photo updates. When you started this blog, it was to track the life change . . . so there has to be a long and enduring post-script after the transition is made!

It's a great way to stay in shape--not doing the walks as long as I'm hauling stuff into the trailer a couple hours a day.
