Sunrise is at the backside of the RV, unfortunately there's a row of pines in the way, but it's still nice ...


I'm very happy at the moment because the temperatures finally dropped a couple of days ago! 
We went from 72F (when getting up) to 58, and the last two mornings even a blessed 52F, to only about 72-75F, instead of 87-88, during the day. 
Even better, the humidity is waaaay down!
It's not going to last very long of course, temps are supposed to be going up later this week, but only around the low 80's. 
So much better!

Now I'm up to date with this blog, I realize I have a lot less to talk about this time. Things are slowly getting into a nice routine once again. 
James goes to work:
    

They're building a sort of 'Gone-with-the-wind' staircase in the front  ...
   
It's a lot of work, and in the full sun, so he's happy too with these cooler temps!

For a guy who says he's working hard, I think he has way too much fun though!


Now the blog's done and the RV scrubbed clean inside and out, and the temperatures are finally cool enough, I'm slowly getting back to my daily morning-walks routine to check out the neighborhood.
   
Although the area immediately around us is woodsy and undisturbed, the land beyond that mainly consists of farmlands.
Oddly enough, besides one dead armadillo, a fast jumping deer, and a handful of squirrels, we have not seen much wildlife. Yet.
All I can find are butterflies, although most of them are gone now it's getting cooler, and dragonflies, like this pretty pink one:

Roseate Skimmer

Now we're in October, I've found some of the trees and plants have gone to 'seed', or nuts, in this case:
   

And off course I've decorated for Fall!


Decorations, pumpkin cookies and a fall jigsaw-puzzle. 
Yup, it's fall y'all!

Since deer hunting season (archery only) has started again, people are emptying their freezers from last year's catch, and both James' boss and another colleague of him, gave us some ground venison and venison sausage!
Ha! I've never cooked it before! So what does a girl do ... you go on-line and google for recipes!


So far I made: a one-dish skillet of onion, bacon, sausage, Brussels sprouts and sweet potato; a pasta casserole with spicy chili's, tomatoes and lots of mozzarella; spaghetti with venison meatballs and biscuits with venison gravy.
Not bad for a beginner and/but still a pound left!

I think that will do it for this week. Since I started with a sunrise, I'll end with a sunset. Which happens at the front-side of the RV. 
(surprise, surprise, duhh ...)
