adventuredog I'm never one to miss an opportunity to check out a great hiding spot!

8r4dsfeets If only the rest of the world worked this way, but alas a Sunday run at the gym and on the track was a break from the mean streets and the smoky air outside.

8r4dsfeets It's been almost a full week of moving, shifting, cleaning, shuffling, hauling, hustling, and trying to find some rest in the middle of it all. Replacing the entirety of our upstairs carpet (even tho the actual removal and replacement of the carpet was done by a pro) meant moving almost ever piece of furniture and object sitting on that furniture into the basement or elsewhere in the house. It meant hundreds of loads down the stairs, hundreds more back up, packing, lugging, discarding, and rearranging everything. The rooms needed to be entirely empty and in many ways it almost seems like it would have been simpler to pack it up and move it to a new house at the same time. Alas, about nine days after taking the first load down the stairs, the place is about 80% restored, and what hasn't gone back up may never go back up, so there is some serious (and slow) sorting to be done now. We are over the carpet hump, tho, and it sure does look and feel nice.

castironguy The garden is officially planted and irrigated for another year. We’re hoping the raised box is the magic spell we’ve been looking for!

8r4d Sunday morning the smoke was pretty bad, but the sun was trying to push through and the red glow fighting the clouds made for some cool if surreal effects.

8r4d Here be #bbq ! The kid has taken away my apron and has become the master chef of all things dinner lately, including taking over many of the grilling duties that have long since been my responsibility. She’s pretty good at it, too!

adventuredog I’m a poser and I’m probably pretty good at it too.
