it's that time of year...

End of summer, heading into fall-- that means:

filling up on produce from the local growers--especially Allred and Harward Farms learn how to cook corn properly here

baking: the perfect snickerdoodle from my favorite food blog, OURBESTBITES

cooler runs--and amazing skies like this one (day after a storm)

it also means watching out for trouble on the trails: rattlesnakes love the fall, basking in the sun on the trails, and this foreboding sight caused me to cut my run short, turn around and head back home: coyotes--thought at first they were wolves!

It also means our basement apartment is for rent--Nate, Mindy and Holden are back East (Boston) for graduate school.  It will be a huge adjustment without waking every day to the sound of Holden's pitter patter...sad sigh...

but we found great renters: mindy's bff, katie and her cousin are moving in this weekend

it's been said that change is as good as a rest.  sometimes it's hard, but there is always lots to gain from the change of  a new day :)
