Lots of dense fog this morning and around 8:55 am it all disappeared. Just got back in from walking. I took Sadie and Malcolm along. It seems like always a tug-a-thong with Sadie. Once we cross the channel bridge that is. All the new smells. Malcolm got scared, so we only got a 45 minute walk in. I know that I wasn't pushing myself as hard as I usually do. So later I will walk again by myself. Malcolm was whining to be picked up about three quarters of the way, we were almost back. So now both dogs are laying down.

The air is dead calm out and the sun is shining. It is perfect outside. I am going to go take a couple of pictures, a very large white mushroom, and down the channel is a beautiful red maple that is reflecting into the channel. I hope that I capture it. Later this week the weather people said that we are going to get 30-35 mile hour winds with stronger wind gusts. You know what that means. The golden pine needles will blanket the Earth here and alot more pinecones will fall. The oak trees are giving up their acorns now, and the squirrels and chipmunks are in a gathering frenzy. The run with them in their mouths and suddenly stop and start digging dropping the acorn into the Earth. I have always wondered how they know where to find them during the Winter months. I decided that they all do this so wherever they dig, they may find an acorn to eat. We have cleaned out the rain gutters again, and I figure we will again after the strong winds are done. I can't rake yet, the leaves are too wet. I will probably do that this weekend. We are going to get 70 degrees or hotter here. I love this time of year, and I love being outside in it. I went outside and here are a few photos...
