I tried taking a nap today, because I was up at the crack of dawn as usual, but my mother called, and then the landscaper came with his noisy lawnmower, and I just gave up and went for a walk.

Autumn arrives by the calendar on Tuesday, and it's starting to show its face around the neighborhood already. It's going to get down into the thirties tonight, so I bet we'll have a lot more color in a few days.

Katydid!

One of the best things about living in New England is all the maple trees, especially this time of year. I'm hoping that we get good color this year; last year was a bit disappointing.

For those of you not on Facebook, my cousin (the one who lost her husband last week) had her baby on Thursday. Sophia Rose is healthy and beautiful. Rose was her grandmother's name. My cousin is doing as well as can be expected, and is very happy to have Sophia with her. So are we.

Sorry I'm too brain-dead to come up with something clever for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but perhaps later on I'll drink some rum and pop in Pirates of the Caribbean or something. *g*
