November (finally!)

Finally we have internet!!! It has been a long and lengthy wait, but just before Christmas we finally got connected with the world again. I've been trying to sort through pictures of all that's happened and I figured I would start with a few pictures from November. October was a whirlwind of getting things ready to move and then actually moving them. And then November was a blur of trying to semi-organize the house, wrap up the football season, and generally get ourselves oriented to our new surroundings.

 There was a lot of this. Rooms starting as disasters and us trying to work our way through them. 

Snow caught in our moon.

Little outhouse on the prairie.

In early-mid November I spent a lot of my weekends just hanging out with the woofs.

With the combination of early snow and fluctuating temperatures, as well as the fact that all around our house still looks like a barren muddy construction site, I spent almost every day cleaning the floors after the dogs...

 As well as after my husband.

Thawing camera lens and wooly socks.

The newest little additions to our family. Harriet (Harry) and Sally. They'll live in the shed through the winter and then will be the mouse/rat/mole control team once the spring comes and the acreage is again teeming with rodents.

This shelf was my first little try at building some furniture for the house. Next I would like to try a bookshelf. It's simple but fits in with all the other wood construction in our house.

In all it was a busy month. Once the football season was done we had family come to visit for a while and then I ended up with The Laryngitis which lasted for an astonishing two weeks. The absolute only good thing about being sick with laryngitis is that at least you sound as awful as you feel, so at least everyone knows you're sick and you're not stuck feeling miserable but sounding fine. 

Next up: into December, where it snowed and snowed and snowed and as a result most of my pictures were taken of the Christmas decorations inside.
