Finally, we're having some great fall weather. It got up to a windy 23 degrees today and the weather folk are predicting at least a week of sunny, mild weather, with temperatures in the 17-21 range. Today was great kite flying weather. Marg and I drove out to La Barrierre Park to walk Holly and Mollie. To say the winds were 'brisk' would be be an understatement. But, it was dry, sunny, and warm and much appreciated. Well, except for the grassy areas. They were wet, hiding a lot of water that quickly found its way into our runners. The dogs, of course, didn't notice that. They (and we) just enjoyed the outing. The trees along the La Salle River were rapidly losing their leaves to the wind.
On the way home, we drove through La Salle to see how construction was coming along on Josi and Greg's new home. Looks good. I think the windows and doors will be installed this week. We felt sorry for them in a way: they'll have lots of work ahead of them next summer, landscaping their yard. We would never want to go through that process again. It's hard enough maintaining a fully landscaped yard. But, they're young and they'll learn a lot from the 'exercise'.
Love the picture (and the earlier one from the lake). haha regarding all the work ahead of us....I am hoping it's "mostly" enjoyable, but yes, it will be a LOT of work!!
