Where has the year gone?

I'm not quite sure. But feels like summer is nearing an end in my neck of the woods as the days have gotten considerably shorter and the weather is definitly cooling off.

The last 2 weekends I was out camping and had a wonderful time. Even got a little bit of a tan :)
The pup went swimming for her first time and loved it. She's a true Lab, right down to her very cute little nose. Too bad we live out in the prairies where water to swim in is a bit harder to find. I will have to find a lake/river for her to enjoy though, that is close to home as she enjoyed it too much to keep her away from water.

DH built me a lovely new raised garden bed. Cant wait for spring next year to get it going. We'll also be building another raised bed in the backyard but I'm hoping to convince him we ought to make that one be a greenhouse. I have an idea of how I want it to look but its another thing to convince DH we ought to go that route. We'll see.....
