No, it didn't burn down or anything

I guess things have been pretty noneventful if a whole month goes by between posts. So what did we do during the month of September?

• Stacked 4 cord of firewood in the basement (with Kenny's help)
  
• Yanked the rest of that nasty weedy grass from our infant lawn (with Kenny's help)
  
• Scrubbed hundreds of years of gunk off the boards that make the walls in the back hallway (with Kenny's help)
  
• Stripped most of the nasty old paint off the front staircase (with Kenny's help; are you noticing a trend here?)
  
• Harvested obscene quantities of tomatoes, made gallons of pasta sauce, and filled every last crevice in the freezer with it
  
• Slept a lot (no, that was just Amy)
  
• Took care of our elderly neighbor and good friend as he was ill and then passed away
  
• Enjoyed the amazing beauty of Maine in the fall and looked forward to it getting even better in October
  

There are a few new photos (click the photo link on the left). The progress we are making is noticeably less noticeable. I guess that is a good thing; that means we are spending more time living our life and less time building it.
