Gah, October? Where did the year go? I'm suddenly realizing we are entering the busiest season of the year and there's going to be tons to do for the next three months. It is unseasonably warmer right now, which makes it harder to believe that it's October. The colors have started changing but it's almost like the trees don't care and aren't even trying to put up a show. Renovation updates At this point, we have completed two weeks in our house while under renovation. Yes, it's every bit as irritating, annoying, frustrating, dusty, and allergy-triggering as they say a renovation can be. But it's also oddly fascinating seeing your house ripped down to the subfloor and peeking inside walls at the things that are typically hidden inside one. It was also satisfying seeing progress made - there's a wall one day, no wall the next day, and then all openings patched up the third day. This coming week is going to see the most progress - the hardwood flooring
Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books wants to know what we're reading. I'm only too happy to oblige!
Have we all in the US remembered to spring forward yesterday? Much as I like that spring is almost here (it's HOT here, but the brown is only slowly translating into green), I don't appreciate the one hour less sleep yesterday. Moreover, I always struggle to be up earlier for at least a week or two.
Books completed in the last week

First post of March. This month, the focus is on Slow Death by Rubber Duck by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie.
Reviews up!
I'm still reading through a couple of the books from last week. I didn't get much reading done really. I have a lot of catching up to do.
The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb: I meant to finish this book by yesterday, but that didn't really happen. But I have a day or two's worth to get through, so I should be done soon.
Slow Death by Rubber Duck by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie: I have the last bit of this book still left - I didn't have a chance to read this since Friday. Still I have the gist covered and it shouldn't take me long to finish it.
The Four Ms. Bradwells by Meg Waite Clayton: I'm not entirely sure that this book is for me, but I've heard plenty of good reviews, so I'm giving it a try!
