Taking Advantage of a Sunny Sunday

The Coastal Low pressure system formerly known as Hurricane Ida finally left the area late Saturday, and we finally had temperatures warmer than 45F on Sunday. In fact, the sun came out and it warmed to 70F! So, we took advantage of it.
We had a great breakfast and fun conversation with friends Steve, Jane and Jeff, then Tom and I spent hours raking more leaves.

PHOTO: The dogs were so excited to run outside and see sunshine, just as we were! Here's Franklin running up and down the fence, chasing and barking at the neighbor's dog on the other side of the fence. Meanwhile, Dolly, our Weimaraner, insisted that we play rope toss for 3 hours as we raked leaves. We did, and she was finally tired!

PHOTO: We raked another 5 bags of leaves, even after last week's 8 bags!

PHOTO: Dolly chewed on a stick while Tom even cleaned out all of the flower beds, too.
