The cold front that was forecast for the past several days arrived late yesterday afternoon and brought much cooler temps overnight. The temperature was 40 degrees when we left the house for our walk, but we still wore shorts along with our heavy hooded sweatshirts. Once you got walking, you warmed up, and the cold felt pretty comfortable.

With the golf cart now out of the shed, John was able to get all the plastic crates and other boxes out of the house and stored there. Even though the house was closed up tight for six months, it still got pretty dusty and dirty both inside and out. Today we decided to start giving it a good cleaning--we got as far as washing the front door and cleaning it's glass. We stopped for lunch and then decided since it was such a beautiful afternoon, we would play some golf--more cleaning can wait until tomorrow. John and I had the whole Par 3 course to ourselves and took our time playing the nine holes. I did much, much better today than I did the first time. I think I am finally getting use to my new clubs.

We finished the golf game just in time to get home and make supper before it got dark. We decided on burgers and while John was grilling them, a nice looking buck came into the yard. He just stood out in the brush watching what John was doing--he certainly didn't seem nervous being close to people. He hung around for a few minutes and then moved on. Over the past couple of days we have noticed more deer coming into the yard--they sure are fun to watch.



Hopefully we will get more of the cleaning done tomorrow and put up our outside Christmas lights. We spent our evening watching some hunting shows and college football.
