Feels like fall ...

... and while we have been blessed with a number of clear, brisk days I can't help feeling the urge to cozy-up and hunker down for the winter. Trouble is I've got lots of fall chores that remain to be completed. Among them; planting bulbs and deciding how to integrate my accumulated plant treasures into the garden. Although one of the most pressing tasks that I have in queue is completing the planning process for the remodeling project we have planned for this winter. We are hoping to reclaim our existing dilapidated garage as living/office space by undertaking a pretty major remodel of the existing structure. This would (naturally!) lead to a pretty major remodel of the back garden as well, which I am very stimulated by. The project requires going through a permit process .... need to get started on that process so we can get this show on the road!
