Poor neglected blog

Ah, the poor neglected blog. At least I kept Facebook somewhat up to date. We'll try to catch up with a couple posts here. But I just have to mention that I need to rake leaves in our yard. The big chestnut beside our house finally dropped - practically all in one day. However, it is dark by the time I get home from work in the evening so I've been waiting for a Saturday. I just noticed here at about 8:00 am that it's 12 degrees out. Maybe this afternoon will be warmer. Or at least above freezing.
