Hi Bunny :)
I feel like I am always cleaning...LOL. The only thing I really do in the fall that's different than the rest of the year is to get my gardens ready for winter. Fall is my favorite time of the year so I do put up lots of decorations...especially for Halloween :). (but don't worry, I haven't started that yet!!).

same old here for now. i did wash 4 bedroom pillows the other day. no drapes up so no washing them. no carpet left except mats at the door. few walls up yet to wash!


did take the pool down and cleaned it. it is put away all ready. I would have liked to have the deck done. i want the railing up at least so that i can put christmas lights and candycanes on it too. Also put a gate on it so i don't have to worry about the dog getting out that way.


So we never used the rv this winter...so no antifreeze to put in the lines. just to do thomas' and empty his sewwer tank.


I really would like to have more walls up soon

I don't change the decor, but I will start putting the heavier covers on the bed and change the decoration on the front door.

The only cleaning up is normally the grill, furnace filter and yard.

Its a 2 bedroom/1 bath. 875 sq feet. We were looking at one that was 1200 sq feet, but someone got shot at that complex and they haven't been caught...yet, and these are cheaper and closer to all the stuff we like to do. We can be moving as soon as Thursday. We'll know more on Tuesday.


Sept 16, the cast comes off!!! So I'm counting down the days!!!
