It Feels Like Fall This Morning & Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, friends.

How was your week? Beau and Matt are still here and to be honest, I don’t know if we ever want them to leave! Tomorrow marks one week since they’ve been staying with us, and I was telling Beau last night while we were all watching TV that it’s starting to feel normal for them to be here. Like, if they were to leave tomorrow it would feel wrong and sad and I don’t think any of us would like it one bit. Who knows how long they’ll stay? All we know is we’re grateful they’re here and wouldn’t mind if they stayed even longer.

Also. Something happened this morning that hasn’t happened in months. I opened the doors to let the dogs outside and I was greeted with fresh, cool and crisp air across my face and I instantly felt refreshed. It was 63 degrees. You know that every year around this time I start itching for fall to hurry up and get here, and even though we’re still a few months away from crisper weather being the norm (and it will get up to 84 later on today), I am relishing in the fact that at least for the next couple of weeks, we will have cool air in the mornings.

We went out to the farm last night to check on the pond progress and I can’t believe how good it looks! It’s smaller than PJ envisioned though, so last night we talked it over and PJ decided he’s going to have the pond guy make it even bigger. He has a vision for the exact look and feel he wants for the farm, the pond, and what will eventually be our house (long term goal!!), so he makes each decision carefully and puts a lot of thought behind them. Though, to be honest, sometimes it feels like we both just make impulsive decisions without giving them much thought, but at the end of the day PJ is extremely cautious in what he decides.

Right now the plan for tonight is to go to the farm and have dinner and make s’mores. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to spend a Friday night? PJ and Matt are there currently working on the living room at Holiday House, the boys are at school, and I’m at home with sis and Beau while we all do our own work (for sis that’s virtual learning and for me and Beau it’s social media). It feels like a good way to start the weekend off right.
