This is our first fall in this home. We moved in here in February. We knew there was a lot of trees but sheesh. Pretty soon our weekends are going to go something like, rake, eat, rake, shop, rake, go to game/practice, rake, breath, rake. There are a LOT of trees on this property and they are more condensed together than our old house. We really only had two trees to worry about there. Here? We have 5 in the backyard alone. We also have trees from the property behind us hanging over our side of the fence that has started a nice mess for us to clean up. I see potential issues there down the road if they don’t trim their tree back. Of course, we’ll have to do the same.

So I see us spending a lot of time outside as we get into the heart of fall. It would be nice if we could warm up with an outdoor fire place (like our R2D2 on steriods) or even something like a fire glass table. (Those are pretty cool.. fire with style).
