Hello November!

What beautiful weather we have had for the first few days of November.  I guess this is our Indian Summer as they call it.  We are trying to finish getting our house buttoned up for the winter.  We cleaned most of the deck off today and pulled the rest of the garden out.  Cleaned our exhaust pipe to the pellet stove we have seeing that it will be turning much colder tonight.  

We have cleaned all the windows in the house.  They look great!  Now we can see out of them. :)  It's funny how you get used to looking through your windows thinking they are clean but until you do them it is amazing how clean they are now.  I just love my new windows where you can clean them from the inside of the house and don't have to be on the outside.  This is the best invention that was possibly ever made.  

We took down all the Halloween decorations as well.  Now it is time to start decorating for Christmas.  I know this sounds crazy but I just love Christmas and all the decorations that go with it.  Plus, I have so many decorations that it takes awhile to put them all up and I also like to enjoy them longer.  I guess I take after my Mom.  I grew up with my Mom always doing the most awesome decorating making you feel like you are in a winter wonderland and at the North Pole.  I loved it as a kid and still do and my husband and kids love it too.  No complaints here. :)
