September

We've wanted to go to the sheepdog herding event held each Labor Day for some time and this year we finally got there. We have heard that border collies are often smarter than their owners. We now know why. These dogs responded quickly and accurately to whistle commands and were excited to work. If only we would respond this quickly when we are asked to do something. It was a fun experience.

Where did all the dogs go? Who are these punk kids with their hats on backwards? Although the dogs didn't get in the picture, the boys were sitting to watch some agility dogs.

This was actually taken in October but Amy got behind so here it is. The stucco crew is probably the best crew that has worked on our house. They are very detailed oriented and take pride in their work.  If only all of our subs took the same pride in what they do. Since building with the insulated foam block was out of our price range we decided to do our stucco over 3 inch foam (EIFS) so we could add an extra layer of insulation. Hopefully we save money in utility bills.

The wood shop has been busy.  Grandpa and Grandma have been very generous with their time and talents when they agreed to build our cabinets for our home. We can't wait to see them in the house. I think they will be the main attraction.
 

Amy grew waaaay too many of these...this is a small sample of mini gourds and pumpkins.  Will she ever learn that one plant is enough?
