Still no excavator. I cut what usable wood I could off the stumps at the house site and split it. About half a trailer’s worth total. I used my new chain sharpener and it worked well. Sharpened the chain about three times because the stumps had so much dirt on them. For lunch I cooked up one of the delicata squash I bought last night and it was very tasty. After loading up the trailer with firewood I drove home. Luke was napping when I arrived so I unloaded the firewood and started loading the trailer with trash. Then it started raining. That was really nice, as we were parched. The rain lasted a while. When Luke woke up he wanted me to read to him, so I read Wheels on the Bus. After Liz finished work we went to the Greenway. Luke loved playing in the fallen leaves!

We started off the day with a walk on the greenway and a visit to the farmer’s market, where Liz bought some bread. Next Liz’s dad and I went to Cars and Coffee downtown while Liz and her mother went to Franklin with Luke. Back at the house we set up the TV on the front porch and watched the Michigan game. I was the only one happy with the outcome of that contest. This afternoon we did some work in Luke’s room – we hung a bookcase and curtain rods. Dinner came from Puckett’s and we spent a lot of time in conversation.
