Housework...

I've really been enjoying the fall, but I'm remembering the downside of having woods behind the house... It was a little more work then I would prefer to rake all the leaves.

Still, it didn't take too long, just an hour or two last night, but my shoulders are a little sore today from it, haha. It did help a lot though, it looks much nicer back there with the leaves out of the yard (not that it'll last too long).

Also, we replaced the kitchen lights last week, which really helped the look of the room a lot. When we bought the house there were really ugly brownish lights with painted metal leaves (I'm sure someone else would like them, but they're not our style). We hated them, and it is really nice to get them all replaced with some more contemporary lights. The new ones are brushed nickel and frosted glass. It's really made a difference in the overall look of the room, which I'm really happy with.

Next on the list is either new appliances or door handles... (we're not too thrilled with the dishwasher), but either one can wait, the rest of the stuff is all functional and not overly annoying, so it's not really all that important....
