She’s always ready to help. 
We’ve had a big problem with mildew this year, thanks to the uber-abundant rain, two hurricanes and humidity. My poor furniture is suffering, and I can’t seem to keep the mildew away. Lots of other folks have been having the same problem. And I saw just yesterday that some gardeners are now dealing with late-season blight that’s striking tomatoes and potatoes again. Ugh, when will the wetness ever end.
Anyway, while we clean Livvy gets to have fun. And that’s always important, isn’t it? 
Today she was so cute– I got a big box in the mail and before we could even open it, she was all over the box in curiosity. She’s such a doll, so curious and innocent. I love this baby. The box contained my new lasagna pan! I’ve been using a 13×9 inch pan and… let’s just say you can’t make good lasagna with such a tiny pan. I got a honking monster, stainless steel and everything. Gonna make a whopper apple crisp in it, too!
So how are you doing this fall? Do you do any fall cleaning? Cooking? Have a great weekend, friends!
:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.

Your kitty is cute! That mildew would be a problem–glad I don’t have to deal with that!

Livvy, glad to hear you are doing your part in the help department. It has just turned cool here today so who knows what we will do. We have been cleaning house a little but need to get outside and do some weed eating etc. Not much time between blogging and taking care of way too many animals but I love it all.

Can’t find her. Nope. Don’t see nuthin’!
Can you run dehumidifiers? I’m thinking that might be worth the investment until all of this dampness is gone.
