gorgeous fall weather!

Yesterday and today have been two gorgeous lovely beautiful days! The air is crisp, and the leaves are just beginning to turn, which adds a golden glow to the air. Hard to find weather as beautiful.

I have begun my week off from work with a bunch of housework. I have been busy with laundry, mopping the floor,and all sorts of stuff like that (though baking the chocolate chip bread was fun!)

Today there will be more housework, but I hope to get in a long walk and some time outside. Then maybe beginning tomorrow I can get some relaxation time in.
