Pictures of the season

Sorry I have not updated the blog in a while. We have been, and still are, very busy. So I figured, I would just post a couple of pictures and ask you to be a little more patient with me ...

Fall is setting in here in Wake Forest, NC, and the temperatures are dropping. While Cindy does not like the cold, it has its benefits: firewood burning season has officially opened at the Disseau's.

And it's a good thing too, because we have had our first snow flurries. I did not see it, but Cindy took pictures of what looks like a blizzard (see the white streaks).

But all this cold unfortunately has also forced us to pick all of our green tomatoes that were still on the vine. Cindy is currently wrapping them in newspaper (a trick Grandmother Schoolbus' neighbor told us about in October). The hope is that they will slowly ripen and that we will have good tomatoes for a while longer.

Second snow of the year ...

Well ... yesterday it snowed again! It came down harder than last time, but did not stick as much. I got to stay home from work: I slept in, spent some good time in Bible study and scripture memorization, got some school reading done, and got some work done on the house. As for the dogs ... as you can see, they loved to play in the snow ... just like kids.

Our week-end off - part IV: so what did we do ...

While in St. Simons we rested (mentally more than physically). We ate some seafood. We took bike rides (including one which concluded with a wet ride home). We climbed to the top of the light house. And we walked (and sometimes ran) on the beach. As you can see below, the dogs loved the beach: so many birds to chase ...
