Golden days
It's been such a lovely October. I actually managed to drag Alex outdoors yesterday - we walked around Great Brook Farm State Park in Carlisle and then drove around a bit, stopping at a farm stand to pick up some apples on our way home. We picked Great Brook Farm because it's a nice combination of open fields, woodlands, and wetlands. And there is the added attraction that they sell ice cream at the exhibition farm in the middle of the park. So that was a nice way to end the expedition. Alex brought his fancy camera and took a lot of pictures, so I didn't bother taking pictures myself. Hopefully I'll get copies of his pictures soon.
This morning I did my last adult tour at Garden in the Woods. I had only two people on the tour, but they were very interested and we had a pleasant time. I've got another tour with kids coming up on Friday.
After all this lovely outdoor stuff, I paid penance by spending an hour at my accountants this afternoon, working out some details of how to proceed with my Dad's estate. I came home with a long "to-do" list and a bit of a headache. But I don't have to do it all at once, so I plan to continue getting outdoors as much as possible in the next few weeks.
I had a nice drive through the just-barely-past-peak Pennsylvania hill country this morning, bringing 700 yard signs from one Obama office to another one.
I finally have an Obama yard sign in my yard. Technically, yard signs are illegal in our development, but there are so many McCain yard signs in our area, we decided to hell with the rule.
When I got home, there were your magnets - thanks! One is on my car already. I also got my ACLU "I am a Constitution Voter" sticker today as well.
