Fall comes to Coles Point Way

We're having beautiful weather here, Eric is in his shorts again. You all know how happy that makes him! I put this picture on my knitting blog, it's the view from the sewing room window.

I am still following the doctor's orders to stay off my foot, so Eric has been busy outside, planting the rest of the bulbs, spraying inside and out for "bugs and pests" and putting the garage in order. He's also been cooking and cleaning! I feel bad because he's having to do everything, but then I guess if my foot gets well, all will be worth it. At least I hope he thinks so.

Some of you may remember the big question we had while the house was under construction concerning would the truck fit into the garage? Well I can report we can get it in, either front or back first. The only catch is that is has to be done at an angle into the back right corner, and someone (me) had to stand in the corner and guide the driver (Eric) in the last few inches. However, it's worth knowing it can be done! Since we expect to continue to experience traffic and dirt flying from construction crews it will be nice to keep the truck in the garage.

Not much else is happening. We are expecting our second delivery from FurniturelandSouth this week, so that is exciting! We'll be glad to get the TV in the living room up off the floor and into the entertainment center.

Progress in the sewing room

Here's how the sewing room Tv has looked for the last month. Not very exciting I must say! I've been working on plans for the cabinets for this room, and found several that would work. Last Saturday I got an email from the company who had the items and one of the cabinets I picked was on sale for $89.99. This was down from nearly $300.00. So we placed an order and it arrived today.

While I supervised from the bed, Eric got to work putting the desk/TV cabinet together. You will see that this is actually a desk and eventually I will set my laptop on the keyboard shelf. However I wanted something sturdy for the TV to sit on. Turns out the cabinet was very well made, and solid wood (as advertized in the catalog, but you never know).

Play it again ....

We're putting together the guest bed today, so all will be ready soon for out-of town guests! Hint to all of you out there! This picture is really from the first bed we put up, but they look the same!

A Fall View

This is just a shot taken across the back yard towards the house that sits to our right. Downhill from us. The leaves are starting to turn and it really looks pretty. One of the new trees they planted in the yard next door has already lost all its leaves, but our maples are just starting to turn red. We are still really pleased with the way out lot sits back from the street and we get such a nice view of the trees.

What a difference!

I'm back again after about three weeks of moving in . . . . and as you can see in this picture taken this morning, we have some nice improvements. Green grass! It looks alot like a hay field waiting to be mowed. We figure they are waiting for it to get rooted well before cutting the first time. Silly thinks she is in the savanah when she goes out back. She actually thinks she is hidden when she crouches down. If you look closely at this picture, she is the black spot at the bottom of the front door. It was pretty cool, so she was sitting in the sun.

Well, tomorrow and in coming days I'll post more about goings on here on Coles Point Way. Until then, keep tuned and I'll be back soon.
