John and I had a rather lazy Sunday. We slept in until almost nine and then had to hustle to get to church on time. As we were driving home we noticed more signs of fall--saw a couple of trees with a few orange leaves. The deep green of the summer is beginning to fade and the grass has slowed it's growth. It is no longer getting light at four in the morning--it is now closer to six before the day begins to lighten. August is our transition month from summer to autumn even though the calendar still says summer.

Today we watched quite a bit of the Little League World Series. Both of us enjoy watching the teams from around the world and USA play. Even though many of these kids don't speak each others language, they still can come together to play a game of baseball.

We took breaks between games and finished laying out the kitchen tile and John went up to Matt's to haul the last load of split wood home. The shed is just about full--one more trailer load should do it and hopefully we'll have enough wood for the winter.


Sam and Hanna got their football and volleyball schedules. Looks like we'll be pretty busy going to games in September and October. I'll have to get all the games on the calendar so we don't miss any. Hanna's first game is August 30th and they both have games on September 1. That should be interesting figuring who'll go where.
