Another new mini-challenge this hour! This one’s hosted by Kim at Page After Page: Walkin’ and Snappin’ challenges us to go take a stretch break outside and snap a photo. Here’s what I saw outside my house:

The photo on the left is our house with the long shadows of late afternoon; the photo on the right is the recent delivery of firewood dumped in our driveway. My husband is planning on building a shed…and then we have to move it all to the shed!
I also reviewed a book this hour: Testimony by Anita Shreve (rated 4/5; read my review)

Whoo hoo, great job reading! That’s quite a wood pile… I’m sure you will have many cozy fires this winter.
LOL – I think we have more wood than we need, Sarah
Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for playing along–I love your pictures-the rock work on your house is amazing and I sure wish we had that much wood. Nothing cozier than a good fire.
Hope our reading is still going well. I am hoping to read what you think of Tomato Girl. I was considering it as a read a while back.
*smiles and cheers*

Thank you, Kim – that rock work was very long in the making … but I was happy with how it came out. I’m sloooooowly making my way through Tomato Girl. It is very good, but I’m very tired
