We're not as far along in that department as you are. I love the colors that you got in the sky shot. I just noticed the maples in my neighborhood beginning to color up late last week.

We don't have crepe myrtles here, but I'll have to make a point of looking for them in future. A tree that always seems neat is the Sweetgum that I've seen in Oregon in autumn. - robin - Thanks! Yes, I'm sure Roger would agree -- I've seen how he recycles building materials. It always takes more time to carefully salvage materials and repair something rather than just tossing stuff in the garbage. I have a very difficult time ever throwing away even the tiniest little stick of wood, so never begrudge the extra work of restoration. We never did get the rain today but it looks like we might get some by Tuesday. - Cathy - I'm glad that you had enough time to drop by for a visit! I know you're really busy right now, but it's nice to find that you managed to catch up on soem blog reading! I guess I may be dependable, although lately it seems like I may be slacking off a bit. Just so busy with outdoor work around the farm and sometimes find it difficult to think of anything much to write about except, "I spent all day working on stuff." (-: John - Thanks!

How I've missed dropping by your blog. Sabrina, the grasshopper laying eggs (in your porch!) the Ambush Bugs (my hubby can't BELIEVE them :0) I've got a lot of catching up to do. Though I can only check in sporadically - it's nice to know you're as dependable as dawn following the night. The sun rises. All is well. Oh Bev! How I’ve missed dropping by your blog.

Great job. I think Roger would agree with you that restoration does take much longer than building with new materials. It's always worth the time though. We're having an early fall here. Colors in the leaves, and they fall to the ground now when the wind blows. I hope you get the rain you need. Your porch looks great, bev. Great job.

When I first saw the Red Maple in the photo, I thought the red looked very much likie the red that is now waning in the crepe myrtles in my yard...almost like those hues of red in my yard are migrating north.
