Clean up

Today Cheryl and I spent the afternoon dealing with fall cleanup. Cheryl dealt with leaves in the yard and I cleaned the rain gutters. I also installed screens to keep the pine needles out of the gutters on the side of our house where the neighbors pine trees continually sheds on our roof. The gutters on that side of the house were full of needles. On the other side of the house there was almost nothing in the gutters. Hopefully the screens reduce the amount of gutter cleaning that we need to do. All in all it was nothing to exciting, but just general upkeep that needed doing.

Fire!

Northern California is on fire, and we had a longer workday than we'd planned because our event for the day we're canceled due to smoke.  So what do we do?  Install a fireplace.  We still need to put in the decorative logs, and try to light it.  We should have a lovely and warm gas burning fireplace in time for the winter.
