Another slow week as fall begins

Not much happened this week other than my toothbrush broke, the batteries died in the clicker for the garage door, and my belt broke.  Annoying little things, but it took time to deal with them. At least I got the lawn cut, the garbage out, the food cooked, the dishwasher cleaned, the laundry to the basement (I won't go as far as to risk doing the laundry!), the kitchen floor washed, the groceries done, etc.

Maddy has been more playful than normal. Maybe it is the cooler temperatures (one morning it was 2.4C) and the good sleep she gets during the day with nobody home much. On the other hand, it could be the fact that she sleeps spread out on three quarters of a queen bed, with her feet against me trying to regain the last quarter of her space... her nose will probably be out of joint when Wendy returns tonight.

Maddy and her rope ball - she hadn't played with it for many months!

I took Maddy on another photo hike in Dundas at the main trail area this morning. The weather was fantastic - reaching about 25C as we finished. She met the usual assortment of dogs and interested children. The fall colours were not really spectacular, but I took a few shots anyways. Still figuring out the new camera.

These will get better as the colours change in the next few weeks.

Fall has started, but just barely

More for our previous fungus theme...

Tonight is the night that I drive back to the Buffalo Airport to pick up Wendy, Parker, Mel, and Murray after their Disney World/Universal trip. It will be a bit of a shock when they feel the temperature (about 20-25C less than they are used to), bu they probably deserve it for going somewhere warm.  Should be able to post a few images from Wendy's phone camera in the next few days, once they have unpacked. All reports are that it was a fantastic trip.
