“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” – Gandhi
The days are shorter, the mornings are colder…and were doing our fall house maintenance chores. The plum tree that Mr. D is trimming produced 85 lbs that were donated to a food bank.
Cooper is trying to apply to get on some work crews. Apparently the lectures I’ve given him on stranger danger are not sinking in.
The pet gallery — and the biking to school gang.
It rained for the first time in a long time. We are glad it wet our plants…
Looks like fall is coming. That’s a lot of plums!

I love this time of the year – and love that you all helped the local food bank while tidying up your yard. Cooper will find a crew, no problem. And I gotta laugh at how perpetually unimpressed Simone looks. 🤣 I love that the kids have school biking gang. What a great way to start each day!

I thought you might like the bike gang. Mr D has a better day when it starts with biking!
And yes, Simone does do unimpressed quite well! Hope you all are enjoying a lovely weekend

Congratulations on the plums and the wonderful donation you gave! Eagle was a big puddle splasher. Mr. D looks like he’s about to enter a growth spurt.

Puddle splashing is fun! I’m starting to wondering when the growth spurts actually start and slow because it seems continuous!! Hope you have a great weekend!

The sign of the week reminds me that when I was in grade school I once did wet my plants! No fun, I will tell you that! I’d like to say thanks for the reminder, Wynne, but at this distance such things no longer carry a sting.

Really? What would you do with plums? We’ve tried plum chutney and some other dishes but they rain down so fast that it gets so hard to make good use of them. I’m sure you know — especially with your tomato harvest!
