We're almost ready for Spring

Summer is DEFINATELY over here in Seattle, Fall is officially here. I think I heard on the news that we had a record amount of rainfall in September, more than twice what we usually have. Is that possible? Doesn't it rain enough? It certainly feels that way. Don't get me wrong, I am excited about Fall and especially Halloween (now that we actually live someplace where we will have little tricker-or-treaters ringing our doorbell!) But I would have liked a few more sunny days...but we don't care about all the rain, we are already getting ready for next year's hot summer days!

Jeff worked long and hard on laying out (on paper) our backyard and we have just begun the process of actually doing it. We had our patio laid this week (picture below). They still need to come back and put another color on top, it will have a sort of two-toned look to it. Check it out:
