In order to put new clapboard siding onto the house to replace the rotted pieces, we rented a nail gun. That nail gun had to be returned by 2:30 this afternoon so we had a limited opportunity to get the new siding attached. This meant that Aesop, the dog, and I had an early morning walk so work on the house could start early. While on the property out back I saw two deer run through. I'm sure we must have spooked them out of somewhere. Aesop didn't see them. He did pick up on their scent and kept pulling me to go through the brush.
It was beautiful out there and I am glad I got to see the deer.
- We finished putting on the new siding! Zed helped first thing and then had to go upstairs to work. He kept coming out to help whenever he could find a few minutes. Keziah and I did most of the hanging of the siding and finished in plenty of time to return the equipment. Between the three of us wood filler and caulking was also applied where needed.

| The hardest part. |
 |
| We made it fit! |
 |
| It is far from perfect and still needs paint, but it can rain without causing more damage now. |
- Fall temperatures finally seem to be here. I have been wearing layers all day.
- Keziah also went out this morning to get some stuff that included things for the pets.
 |
| Aesop has a workman costume that will get much more use on nighttime walks and woods walks during hunting season. |
 |
| He probably will never wear the hat again. |
 |
| Gideon had to try it on though! |
 |
| The cats got this mansion! Places to hide, a ball, comfy rest spots and places to scratch. |
