Summer winds...

Summer has come to an end and I am in a bit of a funk. With the change in the season comes a change in my day to day life. Winter is when my business gets really busy and I have to keep my head down and plow through as much as a can in a day to keep from getting to far behind. It's cold, and worst of all it's dark.

In a week or two we will change the clocks and the darkness will arrive at 4:00 in the afternoon. That means that I will get to the office when it is dark and when I leave it will be dark. We don't have any windows in my office so on days when I don't have any on-site appointments it can get pretty oppressive.

Adding insult to injury, this is the time of year that my wife and I start to argue more. We both get a little stir crazy and then stupid little details that shouldn't mean anything to anyone become the focal point of drawn out struggles and frustrations. I am really starting to dislike the winter.

The good news though is that I have the pictures from this summer to keep me company while I wait for the spring. I look at these and they keep me focused on the things (and most of all the people) that I love.



Beej with her niece, nephew, and our four legged kids




Playing in a fountain in Atlanta, GA




One of the best digital pics I have ever taken. Right in front of my house!




Beagles need baths sometimes!




Turkeys in our back lawn!




Beej on a Geocaching adventure!




Griffen covered in mud (as he should be) while geocaching.




Our Beagle pup acts as if he was raised by cats :)




Spring makes itself known each year with new baby Geese. These greeted us this year..




...and then there is my little wife, who I wouldn't trade for anything. She is as happy as I have ever seen her standing next to her new Jeep.



No one could ever claim that I am not a lucky man.
