I went out to the yard to check on my flowers, and when I returned, the Treat Committee had gathered by the window. Bud is at the rear, his head almost invisible in the shadows.

My dogs are keen watchers.

We’re meeting Robin and Emma shortly to have breakfast and go apple picking. We’ll get to work on the robot later, and I’m taking Robin to our bookstore to get some graphic novels; I underestimated her reading skills by about two or three years.

Robin and Maria might take a walk in the woods.

She’s beginning to read; it won’t be long. It’s a beautiful, crisp, almost perfect Fall day; perhaps Mother Nature is making up for the very hot summer. We’ll be on hay soon.

The farm was radiant this morning.
