Feeling Fallish

Fall has arrived and the whole Sys clan is enjoying some cool mornings. We wake up to the temperature of about 65 degrees and can't help but open the door and take advantage of the cool breeze. The cooler weather usually causes chicken to molt but due to our abnormal seasons are girls have already molted and are nice a fluffy again.

We are hoping this cooler weather will stay a while to help our fruit trees continue to grow and produce fruit next year. Surprisingly, our little pear is still growing so we are excited to try out of first Sys pear in the next few months or so.

The Golden Years

We took a trip to Texas for the celebration of my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary! We gathered with the family and held a little ceremony in honor of their milestone. It was so great to see the family and we are so blessed to be able to witness the example of what true love is really all about.

Walkway project- Check!

Here is our final picture of our completed walkway project. The grill is now outside and our expanded patio has allowed us to have move sitting room for hosting. We will eventually add some rocks where you see dirt, but in the meantime we have put away our shovels and bags of concrete. ;)

Our garden is back!

Lettuce

Asparagus

Squash

Due to schedules and projects, our garden withered away. Nick did a late planting in hope of getting our garden back on track.We have noticed many blooming leaves coming up and can't wait to start eating our own veggies again. 

The Pink Ladies

My running ladies and I participated in the "We Care to Wear Pink" 5k. It was a great race and a lot of fun (once we finished running).  Both Paula and Monica met their time goals of running 10 min miles. They both crossed the finish line right at 30 mins. It was my race 5k since middle school and my goal was to run under 25 mins. I didn't make my time but ended up running hard and coming in at around 26 placing me 4th in my age group and 67th overall. It was great to see over 170 people wearing pink in support of breast cancer and we look forward to our next running adventure. Great job Pink Ladies! :)
