Today, we had drizzle that turned into rain.
BOO!
Oh well, I think I still got a few nice shots that show you how awesome our fall foliage looks right now.
But first..
6:30am
Time for P90X: Shoulders & Arms and Ab Ripper X. I'm totally loving this program this time around (first did it in 2009). Today is Day 10 & already I'm feeling stronger!

Okay, workout done; now on to the fun stuff...
Even with a little rain, the ski slopes are beautifully colored.

| Old Glenwood Rd, look at those REDS! |
Time for a little shopping.
Off to the Farm...
 |
| 'Tis the week for pumpkin picking |
 |
| It's been an excellent year for apples |
 |
| I could not believe my eyes... $5.00 for these stunning Mums! |
Noon-ish
My parents met me at the market, and they brought me presents! My totally talented father made these gorgeous redwood tables for my back deck. I'm SO excited to use them... and bummed that today's rain made that impossible.
 |
| Thanks, Dad! |
While I snapped photos of the tables, the little princess sat on her thrown with her new pumpkins and mums.

Oh. Guess what else the rain brought down.... LEAVES!
You'd never guess I cleared off the driveway just a few days ago. Do you see it?
 |
| Where's the driveway? |
3:30pm
Off to the Library!
I haven't been here in a while and WOW have things changed. I got myself a new library card and selected a few books... but what blew me away was the "check out". You simply put your books on a scale-looking thing and the titles automatically pop up on the computer screen in front of you. Amazing!
 |
| I'm ready for Book Club! |
6pm
My friend & neighbor had to be away from home most of this afternoon & evening so she asked me to stop by and feed her dog and the two she was babysitting. No problem! Lucky for me, these three would rather play in the warm, dry house than outside in the cold rain. So I brought the camera along.

... and then the insanity begins.
Once everyone was back in their crates, tummies full and ready to relax, I made my way back home... but not before I snapped a quick shot of "the aftermath".

Looks as if you had a great day, rain and all. Those tables are so nice, and you've got such a gorgeous back yard to use them in. The fall color shots are simply beautiful. Our weather was so dry here this summer that I'm afraid we'll go from green straight to brown. See you next month.
I love all the pretty colours. especially the one of your driveway! and I'd totally been wanting to try P90X one of these days! You look good!
Oh, Jill! I wish I were as disciplined as you are regarding work out! I'm really not proud of myself in this regard!
Your second picture could have been taken at 10 minutes away from my place. It is almost a copy/paste!
Your new tables are fabulous! I love hand made stuff (specially if it comes from daddy!)
Mackie looks so dignified! And your driveway is gorgeous with all those leaves. Very poetic picture!
Thanks for sharing! ;¬)
I love the apple shots. the pumpkin ones too, but really like the apples.
It's funny to think you're having autumn while it's spring here in Tasmania - although right now we seem to be having the same weather!
