Well, it did last week anyway. Not much is happening around here as far as horticulture goes. The garden is finished. The canning is finished.
Our budget is tight right now, because I had to buy fall clothes. I was able to find decent prices, but still. Fitting together wardrobes for 5 children can often be expensive no matter how frugal of a shopper you are. Luckily Eric and I don’t need anything new. I pretty much can use everything that I used last year, plus I wear some clothes all year round. I’m hoping that it will be better from here on out.
School is going great. I’m always impressed by how much information Lilly and Aggie pick up. They LOVE school. I didn’t love school until I went to college the second time. 
Arden is starting to like it, which is good because two years ago she would throw fits every time I did school with her. Last year she did it without the fits, but she still didn’t like it. I’m glad that she’s gaining some interest in it. I think that if I wanted to work on it more, Liam will be reading fluently by the end of the school year. I just don’t like to push. I did that with potty training and it didn’t turn out so hot.
We were outside yesterday– the first day it didn’t rain in probably 2 weeks. I love the cool breeze and the smell of the air. It won’t be much longer before the leaves start turning. I’m telling you– the effect of the leaves here in the TN hills is breathtakingly beautiful. I’ll get a pic when it starts changing.
