Ken working on the cover...love it!

Well, here we are and it's Sunday the 20th of October...REALLY??!!  WE took a trip to Fernley the other day and got the lumber and roofing for the back deck cover!  Ken's been working on it since and I have to say it's going to look incredible by the end of today!  I painted all the wood the same color as the trim of the house and he's worked his tail off to get it up.. Last evening he was able to get one piece (the most difficult one) of the metal roofing up so today it should go fairly fast!  

We are heading to Winnemucca probably Tuesday to pick up a couple of wooden rockers we have out there, for some back porch "setting".. The temps are really cold out there in the am so it's time to winterize that property, make sure the heater is on the well, things like that and hope that there aren't any broken pipes this winter.  Eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later)  we'll get that property on the market and get it sold.  

Temps are running 15 to 20 degrees out there in the mornings..here in Yerington, about 33 or so..BIG difference!  So glad we bought here.  Just looking out the bedroom window this am watching a beautiful sunrise happening!  

I have to admit, think we're starting to get a case of "hitchitch"...we're watching all the snowbirds heading south down highway 95 and it's tempting....One of our blogs that we like to read,  The Bayfield Bunch left Canada yesterday headed for AZ for the winter, and they boondocked at Cracker Barrel for the night...saw all the Christmas stuff up in the restaurant from their pictures..and I told Ken, I need a Cracker Barrel fix!!  Hopefully after the holidays we can head somewhere.  

Ken's got an eye doctor appt in Reno Nov 1st..so after that maybe we can head out for a short trip before Thanksgiving..

Pictures later today of the cover!  Happy Sunday!!
