My foray into other blogs didn't go so well.  I think I just like it here better!

Things haven't changed all that much around here.  We are still in our house, and even less hopeful that it will sell anytime soon.  It's not currently on the market, but we've been looking ahead to next spring.  We put a brand new roof on it this past spring, right down to the rafters.  The sheathing was sub-code and really seen its day.  No sooner was that finished than the well started giving us problems.  We dealt with it in one capacity or another all sumer, but in recent weeks the water has finally cleared up and seems to be staying that way.

We finally put our wood stove in!  Yay!  We've only had to use it a couple of nights recently but the furnace hasn't come on at all!  We've got a bunch of wood, 90% of which we got for free.  That will be a huge help this winter.

I'm getting the last hold-outs on my grape-tomato plants.  They produced a bumper crop!  Hubby loves to just pop them in his mouth like candy.  I also had some Early Girl tomatoes, most of which I made sauce out of.  That was a first for me and it was fun.  We had some broccoli but it didn't do very well.  And as usual the oregano plant went nuts all over the garden so I harvested plenty of that!

I have all three boys homeschooling this year.  It's a one-day-at-a-time adventure.  Some days go better than others, of course.  I feel a bit isolated myself, not being involved with the school.  The boys are busy enough themselves, between soccer right now and Cub scouts coming up. 

So, I guess that's my "re-introduction" for now!
