Sunsets and pumpkin pie…

Last night proved that once again November rules for the best sunsets around here.

We went out and watched the sun go down, and the lights come up…

The only thing that made it better was coming inside to the smell of a homemade pumpkin pie Robin had in the oven. If you look at the view cam, it’s just not high enough res. to catch all the colors of the sunsets around here, and too bad there’s still no scratch and sniff plug-in either. I guess this will have to do until they develop the technology further. ;-)

Trick or Treat!

We spent the bulk of the weekend installing the kitchen tile, and it’s more beautiful than I could have ever expected. new tile The effect is like stone, closetile but the cost, maintance, and installation were all very pleasant because it was ceramic, and at $3 a sq. ft. I’m not complaining. Hooray for flooring in the kitchen. sidetile

Also, here’s some images from earlier in the remodel. This is the first cabinet run: remodela
See how ugly backerboard is as flooring:

I searched everywhere for iron brackets that could be hung in reverse, cause that was the way Stacy and I always envisioned them.
