A 10 x 12 tough shed is now sitting on our large trailer - but it's in pieces! Cousin Gary had told Glenn about his neighbor who had this shed that he wanted to sell - we headed down to Co. Springs to check it out and it was in great shape and a whole lot bigger than what we thought! But the price was outstanding and because we didn't get the huge shop built this summer, we really needed something to put the tools in for the winter! Glenn headed down one day to tear it down and the next day we loaded it up and brought it up here! Now to find some help to get it back together!!

It was our turn to host the annual 4-H Foundation picnic a couple weeks ago - there were a total of 14 of us here and the day was gorgeous! Glenn even got the 2nd half of our picnic table put together and varnished so we had plenty of places for everyone to sit outside! My white peach daiquiris were a big hit and we enjoyed showing the house off to everyone!!

Glenn did get the borrowed chipper fixed so I was all set to start chipping our 100 or so trees that have been cut down and drying for 2 years! After putting on gloves and goggles, I put a couple of branches in and decided there was NO WAY that the chipper (let alone ME) was going to get through all of the brush and trees that were stacked up. So we decided to do the next best thing - get a burn permit! The Florissant Fire Dept guy had to come out and inspect where we would burn and then it was into the sheriff's office to get the permit! We've burned 4 different days now and the stack is getting smaller but there's still a ways to go! It's a lot of work to haul it all over to the burn site but eventually we'll get it done!

We took a day off in the midst of everything and went ATVing at a local trail outside of Woodland Park - it was a great day outside and we took a picnic along to enjoy! It was the perfect amount of trail time as it started raining about the time we got back to our car!

Glenn and I love to go to grand daughter Rayna's volleyball games and were so upset when she landed wrong at her first game and hurt her leg - after the dr appt and the specialist and finally an MRI, it turns out she tore her ACL, her menisus AND her MCL. Surgery is next and no sports for the next 10 months. Pretty disappointing for this athlete who loves to play volleyball.................

I had told Glenn all summer I wanted to host a "neighbors get together" so new neighbors could meet others and it finally happened! We actually had a coffee at our place one Saturday and it was so fun to have us all together and have new ones meet old ones! Since the coffee and muffins went over so well, maybe we'll extend it to a potluck for the next one!!
