The problem with a huge backyard

…is that it is AWFUL come fall to keep up with the leaves!!!! 65 bags right here, folks~yep, you read right. That is the big sixty five there!

Sixty Five!!!

Sixty Five!!!

Our neighbor’s boyfriend came over and was raking her leaves and Adam said, “I need to get me a boyfriend like that!”. I don’t think we should go there though.

You should see the leaves though…they keep coming and coming! And, yes, Rachel the weather has been freakishly nice as it has been in the 60s and 70s the past week. All I can say is that I am sure we have one heck of a winter in store for us!

Who doesn’t love a sneak-peak

Just a sneak-peak on the book shelves in the library. Adam and his Dad custom-made these out of oak a couple of months ago and got them mostly installed. Adam has been finishing up some of the trim the past couple of days and my mom has been applying the polyurethane. When I was at the antique salvage place in Lincoln I got some antique brass knobs for each of the doors on the bottom.

Needless to say, am I not soooo lucky to have both a husband and a dad-in-law that are so very talented?!
