Franklin the Dachshund and Dolly the Weimaraner loved the weather on Sunday. It was sunny and 74 degrees Fahrenheit! The average temperature is around 53F, so this was a really awesome and welcome day.
Rob woke up with a stomach ache that didn't ease but made the best of it. We walked the dogs in the morning, and Rob walked them in the afternoon and evening, while Tom worked in the garden and did all kinds of indoor projects!
In the afternoon we briefly visited friends Mike and Heidi, as they were celebrating Mike's and Sadie's (one of their daughter's) birthdays. Rob wasn't up to staying out long due to feeling poorly, but it was great to see everyone albeit briefly.
Because the State of Maryland is offering a $25 reduction in the purchase of a tree (from certain nurseries), we took advantage of it, and bought a "Serviceberry Tree Autumn Brilliance". The tree, pictured here when in bloom, requires Full Sun to Partial Sun, grows to 20-25 feet, spreads 15-20 feet, and flowers profusely with snow white flowers in early spring. It's green leaves turn brilliant orange in the fall. It's a fast growing ornamental tree with beautiful white flowers in spring. Red fruit attracts birds including Cedar Waxwings. Red-orange fall color. If you live in Maryland, to get a coupon for $25 off, go to: http://www.trees.maryland.gov/
