What a beautfiful fall day!!!

Well it's the 14th of October and what a perfect day in New Hampshire. So easily this time of year it could be cold, rainy, miserable, and just horrible. But as we hoped, it's turned into a perfect fall day in New England.

I did a little leaf blowing this morning to try to at least stay caught up to the falling leaves. One thing that I just can't get used to. Growing up in Maine we just didn't have trees right around our house and so we never worried about it. Now we are in a house that is practically cut right into the woods and so we are surrounded by falling leaves. While just gorgeous this time of year, it does add a little bit of work. But that's cool.

Right around lunch time we went down to the new wine store that opened in town and checked it out. Could be serious trouble for us. Lots of really good wines from all over the world, and great cheese to go with it!! We got a few bottles of things to try out and look forward to that. They have wine tastings every Thursday night, so I guess I know what Xan and I will be doing for the next few Thursdays!!!

We were supposed to go to a local winery this afternoon with some friends, but they all got busy doing normal stuff and so we decided to postpone for another weekend. Just as good since we have lots of things we should be doing too!!

Xan has run off to Walmart to get some pictures developed to include in the Thank-You cards to people for our wedding presents. We're a little behind on those, but I'm not honestly going to lose sleep over it. If you haven't gotten yours yet, you will.

Well I should get going and get caught up on a little more correspondence with people. Talk to you all soon!!

Ah, you've just got leaves. Matt & I have big ol' branches on our back deck. Honestly, we're going to need a saw to deal with it, but who has a saw in the city?

Also, I don't know if you've heard, but Dan and his wife Lara welcomed daughter Dagny Jane on Monday, October 2nd. As you might expect, I think this is very cool.
