What Happened to Summer?!

I cannot believe the summer is almost over. What happened?! I guess the move kinda took a big bite out of our usual warm weather recreations. But, it's nice that things are cooling off a little in the evenings now. It's just the right weather for camping! Joanne and I are supposed to go with some friends from her job before the month is over. I'm really looking forward to that. I've almost talked her into getting a couple of mountain bikes. Hopefully we'll do that next week. Now that we have a garage to store them in and a nice park with trails just around the corner I can't think of a good reason not to buy them.

You know, the biggest difference since our move is that we hardly spend any time outside. I really miss our back deck. Before we practically lived in the back yard - grilling, gardening, lounging and jumping in and out of the hot tub... We don't have a fence here yet, so the entire back yard is open to the street. No privacy at all. To make matters worse, we are on a corner lot. Anyone who drives by can see anything they want to - any time - no fun in that.

We are getting quotes now, but we have some other landscaping goals and issues, so it may be next spring before we can get a fence up. I don't know. Everything seems to be contingent on everything else.

It's always something, huh?

Oh well. It'll all be resolved soon enough.

Happy Friday to everyone!
