the switch

Shorter days are setting in, colder temps are here. That means a few things around here...
less..I mean very little time outside tending to flowers, riding bicycles, going on walks, mowing, or anything. The most time spent outside right now that is pleasant is if there is a fire involved.

This is the transition to slower paced (sort of) days/nights inside. With all of the rainy, cool weather we've had, we have spent more time indoors. We have been organizing, doing tiny projects, cleaning, sorting, homeschooling, reading, etc...

In some ways I like the transition, but in other ways I go stir crazy. We are a summer-lovin family. We love spending time outdoors. I miss the sunny pool days, the flower waterin, the early sunrise, the garage sales, the smell of the yard being mowed, the breeze on the porch.

This is our time to catch up on indoor things--the switch from doing outside stuff til we drop and trying to keep up with indoor things to pretty much only stuff indoors.
