Autumn is in the air....

Autumn is definately arrived! Wanaka really reminds me of Canada at this time of year. The tree's are changing color, there is a distinct smell of autumn and we get the odd snow showers on the hills.
We have started to get the house ready for winter. Put on the flannel sheets this morning and I got our bedroom heater all set up with the timer and we have started using the gas heater in the mornings and at night. At work I have been busy chopping wood and getting the kindling all ready. Sometimes I really feel like it is like little house on the prairie. Our house should be much better than our old house in Albert Town though...this new one is insulated! Yeah! Our christmas presents finally arrived from Canada and my wonderful down jacket is here...I don't think I will ever be cold again!
I think this should be the last weekend we are stuck at home. All the work on the car will be done today. A few plans on the cards for next weekend depending on what the weather does. Two different huts or maybe an overnight trip in Milford or maybe even Queenstown as we can stay in YHA's for free! One of the benefits of the job.
Hope everyone is great.
