Couple of random pictures and memories that I don't want to forget to include!
September is really gorgeous weather and there's not much better than having coffee in the sunroom and enjoying the view. Then following it up with an afternoon swim if it's warm enough!
I took a lot of photos of the sun rising during the school bus walk. Early in the year it would be dark when we left and sun when we got home over the course of a 10 minute round trip. Or I'd walk Lucy for a full walk instead of just to the corner and back like she gets in the cold and dark winter.
With all our beautiful trees can come some messy yard after a storm. We actually had our trees trimmed this year in order to avoid too much of this sort of thing. Nevertheless, we had a very heavy limb shear off and slice open the pool cover. We had to leave the cover partially open for the rest of the pool season so that water wouldn't leak up through the cover and make it too heavy to open. A new cover will be installed when the pool is opened May 1st. In winter there is a different heavy cover that is over the top of the pool versus on sliders.
I don't recall Lucy helping with all that clean up but she sure was tired!
We went to the Benet homecoming game. It was underwhelming. The football team was stomped and the pageantry was lacking. After seeing my nephew's band and some of my Kansas City friends' posts, I was expecting a lot more from the halftime show than 20 kids and no flags. I guess this is exclusively an academic powerhouse!
Fall meets summer! I actually love September and October pool weather. It makes it hard to want to go anywhere from June-October with the pool calling to me!

On the morning school bus walk, we are usually serenaded by owls. This particular morning we thought we heard about 6 in different spots around the neighborhood. Indeed, the owl convention was confirmed when we spotted these two together on a neighbor's chimney!
Lucy loveys make the early mornings better. So do flowers from the yard and put on my island!
