fall foliage....gorgeous reds, oranges, yellows on the maples...
cornstalks. hoodies. hay rides. bonfires. i love fall....
but isn't it july 6th?
working for the library means we plan out events for all ages a solid 3-4 months ahead of time. so i'm working on the storytimes, a few computer classes and other events for september, october & november.
the deadline for our fall newsletter is coming up in about a week, and while i love fall, i'm just getting used to lighting the weber on the deck, sipping a cocktail with ice clinking in the glass and watching the dahlias get taller and the tomato plants start producing in the garden...
life around our house has been pretty quiet. quinn appears to be back to 'normal' which is great but still perplexing we have no idea why he was so sick. cora's good....still a complete mama's girl. If i leave the house and mark is home, she whines for me. ellie (the black feline) loves this time of year as it means every time the back door opens, she runs out, across the deck and squeezes her pudgy-needs-to-go-on-a-diet body through the deck rail down to the heavenly yummy grass below :) bliss. until i, the mean mom, come and hoist her up and back into the house. (i'll let her have a little grass but I prefer my felines in the house). lucy turns 12 this month. I got her as a pipsqueak kitten of 8 weeks from a pet store in inver grove heights in august of 1996 when i first moved to minnesota and knew not one person. she kept me company for those first lonely months... now she's 12. And still hates to be held. but loves to be petted. on her terms. and she still *loves* deli ham. :) anytime we make sandwiches, she knows.
spent 4th of july weekend a) running a 5 mile race with friends, b) hanging out with some other close friends and c) working.
my happy realization at work yesterday was seeing that items that checked out yesterday are due in 3 weeks on july 26th. which means in 3 weeks i will be by my Mother Lake, with campfire, woods, hiking and waterfalls. and that makes me happy....
i'm considering making my blog a private read, so if you feel the need to want to be 'invited' to read it if i do put it behind the scenes, let me know. peace....~jd

It was so fun that you found our blog - I suppose all those library links led you right to it. We appreciate seeing you and sure miss story time with you each week. Our summer schedule hasn't allowed us to make it yet. We are hopeful for fall too!
I enjoy reading your blog. You've mentioned neat things that I've liked trying.
Hey, JD. I haven't looked at your Blog in a while. It's really looking good. You're a natural born blogger. But, why would you make it private??? Ohhhh, you're going to talk about private stuff, huh?
