Hi all!  Sorry that I haven’t been doing regular updates.  The dogs are surely keeping me out of trouble!  They are not unlike children, as they need constant supervision so that they don’t accidentally ingest something inappropriate or completely tear apart my house!  Codiak is a walking stomach and if he had it his way, he’d eat everything in sight…such as my cereal from this morning (grrr!)

It’s amazing.  I swept this floor yesterday afternoon, yet it doesn’t look like it’s been swept in over a week!  They drag in so much dirt with them!  I actually found this really great push broom.  It’s supposed to be a mop, but I don’t like it as a mop.  It doesn’t work very well, in that respect, but it’s great at pick up the lint and fur that have shed from my 3 boys.

Fall is upon us here in Germany!  The leaves are starting to turn and we are at the beginning of autumn.  It’s not warm enough for shorts and a tee-shirt anymore, and not yet cold enough to wear a coat.  Everything is getting ready to become dormant for a few months andthe days are getting shorter.  It actually gets dark at a normal time (around 8 pm) yet, the sun is still coming up fairly early.  It’s the perfect time of year and my favorite in-between season.  Officially, Fall doesn’t begin until the 22nd, but it’s been feeling “fall-ish” for a few weeks already.

We are fortunate enough to live in a heavily forested part of Germany and it will be a fantastic season this year.  It rained quite a bit this summer so everything was very luscious and green which makes for a beautiful autumn!  I’m so excited!  I can’t wait to try my hand at some Fall Photography!

Well, other than that, nothing’s been going on.  Thanks for reading and have a great day! 🙂
